AS Roma's Daniele De Rossi is confident of being fit for Sunday's derby against Lazio after hurting his wrist in a fall in training on Thursday.
"The wrist hurts but I'm going to play," the Italy midfielder was quoted as saying by La Gazzetta dello Sport.
Lazio captain Tommaso Rocchi believes the teams' contrasting positions in the standings will have little bearing on the game.
"We have 14 points more than them which means we have done well up to now and we deserve this position in the table," the striker told Sky television. "But the two sides' form does not count in the derby."
Adriano has been excluded from Inter's squad for a fifth consecutive game but Mourinho said it was because the Brazilian striker had been ill this week and not because of the indiscipline that caused him to be dropped previously.
Ricardo Quaresma, Inter's biggest close-season signing, has been left out too following some poor displays.
AC Milan midfielder Andrea Pirlo said he was close to recovering from a thigh problem but does not expect to take part in Sunday's game against Chievo Verona at the San Siro.
"Perhaps it's still a bit early," Pirlo told the club's in-house TV channel. "I've trained with the rest of the team all this week. We'll see how it goes day by day.
"On Sunday it will be two months since I suffered my injury. It's been a while and I hope to come back soon because I really want to play."
