Italy Star’s Long-Awaited Return From Injury A Key Boost For Inter Milan Ahead Of Crunch AC Milan & Bayern Munich Clashes | OneFootball

The return of Federico Dimarco from injury will be a massive boost for Inter Milan ahead of big matches against AC Milan and Bayern Munich.

This is the view in today’s print edition of Rome-based newspaper Corriere dello Sport, via FCInterNews.

Inter Milan wingback Federico Dimarco has eased his way back to fitness over the international break.

The 27-year-old had picked up a thigh problem at the start of the month. The muscle strain forced him off during the Nerazzurri’s Serie A draw away to Napoli.

That injury caused a full-scale injury crisis for Inter. The likes of Matteo Darmian and Nicola Zalewski were also on the sidelines.

Now, Inter coach Simone Inzaghi can count on all of Dimarco, Darmian, and Darmian.

Therefore, the Nerazzurri coach no longer has to find makeshift solutions at wingback.

That will certainly be a vital thing for Inzaghi. The coach will be keen to rotate his squad, starting with this weekend’s Serie A match against Udinese.

However, it is Dimarco’s return above all that will really make the Inter coach smile, argues the Corriere.

The Italian international is one of the key members of the Inter starting eleven.

There is no player who offers the kind of creativity and goal threat that Dimarco does from the left flank.

Therefore, Inzaghi will be anxious to have Dimarco back at his best.

Particularly for the four big knockout matches that Inter have to face in April.

The Nerazzurri will play both legs of a Coppa Italia semifinal tie against AC Milan and a Champions League quarterfinal tie against Bayern Munich next month.
