Inter Milan and Roma have condemned Thursday's front page of Italian newspaper Il Corriere Dello Sport.

Axar.az reports citing ESPN that the newspaper's front page previewed Inter's Friday night clash with Roma with a photo of both Romelu Lukaku and Chris Smalling above the headline: "Black Friday."

Sources have told ESPN the post was in relation to Corriere's front page, but the club opted not to directly reference it in the tweet as not to "give it visibility."

Roma's English account tweeted a picture of the front page as part of their condemnation, while Fiorentina's English Twitter account responded by writing: "No to racism, kick it out," -- as well as separate post criticizing the cover.

AC Milan also condemned it, with a tweet that read: "It is totally unacceptable to see such casual ignorance on racism. We will not stay silent on this issue."

Lukaku has also been the subject of racist abuse in Serie A this season, with Cagliari supporters having aimed monkey chants at him when the sides met in September.

The Belgium international joined Inter for €80 million from Manchester United while his former Old Trafford teammate Smalling moved to Roma on loan.
