Milan have been dealt an injury blow ahead of the derby after Andrea Bertolacci suffered a thigh problem on international duty.

Milan defender Andrea Bertolacci will miss the derby with Inter on Sunday after sustaining a thigh tear while playing for Italy.

The 24-year-old only arrived at San Siro from Roma during the close-season and has featured in both of Milan's Serie A outings this term.

However, Bertolacci left Italy's training camp on Friday after being forced off 55 minutes into the 1-0 Euro 2016 qualifying win over Malta a day earlier.
