The Milan derby is fast approaching, with AC Milan and Inter dealing with several injury concerns ahead of Saturday night's clash at San Siro. The Serie A Matchday 10 fixture promises plenty of excitement, but the availability of key players could have a significant impact on both teams' preparations.

With the first Halloween derby approaching, both sides are waiting for updates from the treatment room. Here is the latest on the injured players, confirmed absentees and potential returns ahead of the Derby della Madonnina.

AC Milan: Three Players Return to Training Ahead of the Derby

There is encouraging news from Milanello, where Mario Gila, Diego Moreira and Adrien Rabiot* have returned to team training after their respective injury problems. Their return gives head coach Amorim more options ahead of the clash with Inter, although their fitness levels will need to be assessed before kick-off.

However, Pietro Terracciano, Matteo Gabbia, Fikayo Tomori, Alexis Saelemaekers, Ruben Loftus-Cheek and Samuel Chukwueze remain unavailable. These absences could limit Milan's options as the Rossoneri look to bounce back from their defeat against Bologna.

The next training sessions will be crucial in determining whether the three returning players are ready to feature in the derby.

Inter: Lautaro Martínez Set to Miss the Derby, Three Players in Doubt

Inter also have several fitness concerns to manage ahead of Saturday's showdown. Lautaro Martínez is expected to miss the match, while Curtis Jones, Benjamin Pavard and John Stones remain doubts.

The three players are not yet available to head coach Cristian Chivu, and their chances of making the squad will depend on how they progress over the coming days.

Inter's coaching staff will have to assess the available alternatives as the countdown to one of the biggest fixtures of the Serie A season continues.
