Inter hit by fresh injury blow: defender sidelined | OneFootball

Bad news for Inter. After the injury to third-choice goalkeeper Raffaele Di Gregorio, as reported by TuttoNapoli, Matteo Darmian also had to stop during today’s training session. The Nerazzurri defender, after feeling discomfort in his left leg, underwent instrumental tests in the afternoon at the Humanitas Institute in Rozzano. The tests revealed a muscle strain in the soleus, and his condition will be evaluated day by day by the club’s medical staff.

Inter, injury for Darmian: the latest updates from the Nerazzurri camp

For now, it seems almost certain that Darmian will miss the next league match against Roma, scheduled for the weekend. This is a significant loss for Christian Chivu, who had often used the former Manchester United player as a defensive wildcard, alternating him both as a center-back and as a full-back.

Darmian’s absence, combined with that of Marcus Thuram—who is still recovering from a muscle problem—further complicates squad management ahead of the demanding run of fixtures that awaits Inter in the coming weeks. The French striker is continuing his personalized training and hopes to be available for the big match against Napoli, although the medical staff prefers not to rush his return to avoid setbacks. In the meantime, Chivu will have to consider alternatives for the game against Roma: Akanji may start, as he has already featured in previous matches, with Bisseck ready to step in if needed.
