Boost For Inter Milan As Injured Star Set To Return For Serie A Clash With Pisa | OneFootball

Inter Milan received a welcome boost in midfield this week as Henrikh Mkhitaryan returned to full training after more than a month out with a muscular injury.

The Armenian midfielder was forced off early during the win at Napoli on October 25, but his recovery has gone according to plan and he is now back working with the squad.

According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, via FCInterNews, Cristian Chivu will decide in the next 48 hours whether to name Mkhitaryan in the squad for Sunday’s trip to Pisa.

Alternatively, the coach may wait until the Coppa Italia tie with Venezia on December 3.

Inter want to avoid unnecessary risks, but the veteran’s return arrives at a key phase of the season.

Indeed, as the Nerazzurri juggle league, cup and European commitments.

There is less positive news for Denzel Dumfries.

The Dutch wing-back will miss the Pisa match and is currently targeting a return against Liverpool on December 9.

His condition will be monitored day by day, much like Matteo Darmian, who is also working through a minor issue.

With both senior right-sided options uncertain, Luis Henrique is expected to start again on the flank.

The Brazilian has grown in confidence with each appearance and could be handed another opportunity from the first minute.

Elsewhere, Inter should restore several regulars to the XI after rotation in recent matches.

Francesco Acerbi, Petar Sucic and Marcus Thuram are all in line to return.

Meanwhile, Lautaro Martinez leads the attack as usual.

Probable Inter (3-5-2): Sommer; Akanji, Acerbi, Bastoni; Luis Henrique, Barella, Calhanoglu, Sucic, Dimarco; Lautaro, Thuram.
