"Inter Milan goalkeeper Yann Sommer (Image credit: Getty Images) Inter Milan are only three points behind Serie A leaders Roma but four losses in their first 12 matches have the distinct whiff of missed opportunities. Goalkeeping errors have become a big topic among Inter supporters and 36-year-old Yann Sommer, who joined the Nerazzurri from Bayern Munich in 2023, has conceded more goals than the post-shot expected goals (PSxG) faced in Serie A this season."
"Second-choice goalkeeper Josep Martinez is still available but has reportedly missed opportunities to play in Sommer's place in the aftermath of a tragic road incident in which his car hit and killed an 81-year-old man.

"Twenty-four-year-old Caprile has had to work his way up the ranks over the last five years. He developed at Chievo in Verona, the city where he was born, and was signed by Championship side Leeds United in the January transfer window in 2020. Leeds were promoted but Caprile never made a senior appearance for the Yorkshire club in either the Championship or the Premier League. He returned to Italy and was loaned to third-tier Pro Patria in 2021/22."
Inter Milan sit three points behind Serie A leaders Roma despite four losses in 12 matches, with missed opportunities contributing to their slow start. Goalkeeping errors have become a focus as 36-year-old Yann Sommer has conceded more goals than the post-shot expected goals (PSxG) he has faced this season. Second-choice Josep Martinez remains available but has missed chances to play following a tragic road incident in which his car fatally struck an 81‑year‑old man. Injuries and youth options leave Alessandro Calligaris as a squad option while Inter pursues replacements including Elia Caprile, Zion Suzuki and Noah Atubolu. Caprile progressed through Chievo, moved to Leeds United in 2020 without senior appearances, then rebuilt his career with loans and transfers culminating in spells at Bari, Napoli, Empoli and Cagliari.
