Juventus, Milan and Como combine for fewer Italian minutes than Inter in Serie A Juventus, Milan and Como have given fewer minutes in Serie A to Italian players this season than Inter have on their own. According to TuttoMercatoWeb , using Transfermarkt data, the three clubs have a combined 1,361 minutes from players available to Roberto Mancini after five rounds of Serie A.

Juventus are 16th on 754 minutes, 720 of them from Guglielmo Vicario and Manuel Locatelli, who now faces months out after knee surgery. Milan are 17th on 383, led by Alphadjo Cisse, while Como have given 224, more than half of them to Moise Kean since his move from Fiorentina .
