Inter Milan Vs Roma – Veteran Midfielder Faces Race Against Time To Make Matchday Squad | OneFootball

Inter Milan midfielder Henrikh Mkhitaryan is facing a race against time to recover for Sunday’s high-stakes Serie A clash against Roma.

According to Corriere dello Sport via FCInterNews, there’s still a chance for the experienced star to feature in the upcoming showdown at San Siro.

Henrikh Mkhitaryan suffered a hamstring injury in Inter’s controversial 1-1 home draw against Atalanta last month.

Therefore, Cristian Chivu was unable to call upon the former Arsenal and Manchester United ace for an away game against Fiorentina.

Furthermore, his chances of returning for Inter’s must-win match against Roma looked slim.

However, the 37-year-old could be at Chivu’s disposal this weekend.

Though this could be Mkhitaryan’s last season at San Siro, the Armenian veteran remains one of Chivu’s most trusted midfielders.

Indeed, he has made 22 league appearances this term, registering two goals and two assists.

With Petar Sucic performing below expectations, Mkhitaryan’s role has been crucial, especially in high-profile fixtures.

As such, Chivu is waiting for the medical staff’s report with bated breath.

On the bright side, star striker Lautaro Martinez is nearing full fitness and should be ready for Sunday’s blockbuster at San Siro.
