Joel Obi Out of Sampdoria Tie

Inter Milan coach, Andrea Stramaccioni will be looking for his eighth consecutive away win in all competition tonight at the Stadio Giuseppe Meazza in the San Siro district of Milan against Sampdoria without his Nigerian import, Joel Obi.

 Obi is not among the 21 players the coach has listed for tonight's game due to injury and it will be the second consecutive game the Nigerian will be missing since he made his first start of the season for the Nerazzurrini against city rivals,AC Milan penultimate weekend.He was not in action last weekend when Inter defeated Bologna 3-1 due to injury.

The Nigerian only returned to action this month after almost five months on the sidelines due to injury which ensured he missed all of Nigeria's 2013 Africa Cup of Nations and 2014 World Cup qualifiers since June.He is however expected to return for this weekend's game against Serie A leaders and defending champions,Juventus.
