Report – Inter Milan Handed Major Injury Boost Ahead Of Fiorentina Clash As Italy Defender Resumes Full Training | OneFootball

Inter Milan star Alessandro Bastoni could reportedly be in contention for the upcoming Serie A showdown against Fiorentina.

According to Tuttosport, via FCInterNews, the Italian center-back is expected to resume full training today.

Alessandro Bastoni suffered a minor knee injury in the Milan derby a fortnight ago.

Indeed, he had a nasty collision with French midfielder Adrien Rabiot, forcing Cristian Chivu to take him off immediately.

Furthermore, the 26-year-old had to skip last weekend’s controversial home derby against Atalanta.

Meanwhile, Carlos Augusto, who took his place in the match, must serve a one-game suspension this weekend.

With Augusto suspended, Chivu is desperate to welcome the former Atalanta man back from injury.

Encouragingly for the Nerazzurri faithful, Bastoni could resume training today, having trained separately from the team.

Therefore, there’s a chance for the star center-back to make a quick return to the starting lineup this weekend.

Inter will be out to end a three-game winless run in all competitions and get their Serie A title race back on track.

Despite going winless in their last two league outings, Chivu’s men still boast an eight-point lead over second-placed AC Milan.
