FC Internazionale Milano's South American duo Adriano and Iván Córdoba will miss Saturday's Serie A game against AC Siena and are also in doubt for the Nerazzurri's trip to FC Bayern München for their final UEFA Champions League Group B match three days later.

Injury setback
Brazilian international Adriano, who has recently returned to form and fitness after spending a month out of the team, is struggling with a back injury. Coach Roberto Mancini said: "The back problem he had ahead of the Coppa Italia game on Wednesday has got worse. He couldn't train yesterday or today, so he will rest." The 24-year-old striker is expected to recover in time for the Bayern tie.

First versus second
A bigger worry is 30-year-old Colombian defender Córdoba, who has suffered a slight thigh injury and could be sidelined for a number of days. Inter, who have won their last ten games in all competitions, have already qualified for the UEFA Champions League knockout rounds but a victory in Munich would give them top spot in Group B.
