Simone Inzaghi Gives Inter Squad Two Days Off – Barella & Buchanan To Return Next Week

After today, FCIN report, Inter’s squad will get a couple days to rest and relax.

Nerazzurri coach Inzaghi has given the players both Sunday and Monday off.

Then, next Tuesday the Inter squad will return to work.

There, the players will really start to focus on preparations for their first match back after the break.

And in the meantime, Inter should be getting one big name back in training along with the rest of the players.

Midfielder Nicolo Barella has been absent from training for right around three weeks. This has been while he has recovered from a thigh strain that he picked up in the derby against AC Milan last month.

However, FCIN report, Barella is right on track with his recovery. That means that he should be back in training at the start of next week.

Therefore, the 27-year-old will absolutely be available for selection for Inter’s trip to the capital to face Roma.

It’s a bit of a different story with wingback Tajon Buchanan.

The Canadian international should return to training next week as well, reports FCIN. He should be back either on Tuesday or Wednesday, anticipates the outlet.

However, unlike Barella, Buchanan has not just been out for a couple of weeks. He has been out for nearly four months recovering from a broken leg and surgery.

Therefore, Inter coach Inzaghi will have to ease the Canadian back into the squad.

Buchanan could potentially be in the matchday squad to face Roma.

But alternatively, the 25-year-old could make his long-awaited return to the squad for matches against Young Boys in the Champions League or Juventus in Serie A.
