Fresh Injury Blow For Inter Milan As France Starlet Trains Separately And Is Unlikely To Star Against Como in Coppa Italia | OneFootball

Inter Milan have suffered another injury blow ahead of Tuesday’s Coppa Italia semi-final against Como, with Ange-Yoan Bonny training separately at Appiano Gentile after picking up a calf complaint during Saturday’s 2-0 victory over Genoa at San Siro.

According to Sport Mediaset, via FCInterNews, no scans are currently planned but the French forward is fatigued and his availability for the semi-final looks remote at this stage.

It is the last thing Cristian Chivu needed.

The squad are already without captain Lautaro Martinez and navigating a relentless run of fixtures across two competitions.

The news significantly reduces Chivu’s attacking options for the match against Como.

Francesco Pio Esposito and Marcus Thuram are now the only senior strikers fully available.

Therefore, some Under-23 players are likely to be drafted in to provide bench cover.

Both Esposito and Thuram have been carrying the burden of Inter’s attack since Lautaro’s injury.

Therefore, asking either to start three games in the space of eight days without adequate backup is a concern.

The development makes a tactical switch increasingly likely.

Chivu has been considering a move to a 3-4-2-1 system to avoid overexposing his limited forward options.

And, indeed, Bonny’s absence may well force his hand sooner than anticipated.
