Correa adds to Inter injury woe with new setback | OneFootball

Inter lost another player to injury during the match with Genoa, as Joaquin Correa went off with a knee issue.

The Argentina international was given a rare start at San Siro this evening precisely because Marcus Thuram was already out of action.

However, just before half-time he went to ground with a suspected sprain of the left knee and held on until he could make the substitution during the break.

Correa was replaced by Mehdi Taremi for the restart in this Serie A Week 26 fixture.

The 30-year-old was visibly upset limping off the field, as this was only his seventh Serie A appearance of the whole season.

Nonetheless, Tucu still managed to contribute one goal and two assists this term.

Simone Inzaghi has a busy week ahead of him, playing Lazio in the Coppa Italia quarter-final on Tuesday, then the Scudetto showdown at Napoli next Saturday.

After that, the first leg of the Champions League Round of 16 is against Feyenoord on March 5.
