Massa takes Roma–Inter
Davide Massa referees Saturday's match at the Stadio Olimpico. Meli and Berti run the lines, Maresca is the fourth official, and Mazzoleni sits on VAR with Di Paolo beside him. The fifth-matchday appointments were made official on Wednesday.
Lega Serie A's own page would not load this morning. The team above is as Sky Sport Italia and Corriere dello Sport printed it.

Stones is scanned this morning
John Stones has his scans on Thursday morning, not Wednesday. FCInter1908 reports that Inter left it a day on purpose, so the scan would read the damage clearly.
Gazzetta dello Sport describes a strain in the hamstring of his left thigh and fears about a month out. Either way he misses Saturday, and the international break covers part of it.
Edition No. 15 had Gazzetta expecting him back after the break. New today is the later scan date and a month as the fear.

Çalhanoğlu's contract is the urgent one
Hakan Çalhanoğlu's deal runs to June 30, 2027. Fabrizio Romano reports that Dario Baccin, Inter's sporting director, will sit down with the midfielder's agent Gordon Stipic shortly, and that the meeting is exploratory rather than a negotiation.
No figures are attached to it. Inter treat this as the most pressing contract on their desk.
