🤕 Inter lose Mkhitaryan for a few weeks | OneFootball

The Inter Milan infirmary adds a new name to its list of absentees, generating concern among the coaching staff and the Nerazzurri fans.

The talented Armenian midfielder, Henrikh Mkhitaryan, has been diagnosed with a muscular discomfort that, although not considered extremely serious at first, threatens to sideline him for a significant period. The player's situation is key to Chivu's plans, and his absence has already set off alarm bells at the club.

Inter has made public the results of the tests the player underwent. "Henrikh Mkhitaryan si è sottoposto questa mattina ad accertamenti clinici e strumentali presso l’Istituto Humanitas di Rozzano," reads the official statement. The tests revealed a diagnosis of "risentimento muscolare al semitendinoso della coscia sinistra" (muscular discomfort in the semitendinosus of the left thigh). This type of ailment, although not classified as a tear, requires extreme care to prevent it from becoming a more serious injury.

Despite the caution in the official statement, which indicates that "his situation will be evaluated next week," the first reports from the Italian press point to a worrying period of absence. According to reports from 'Sky Sport', Inter will not be able to count on Mkhitaryan until at least the end of November. This prognosis means that the Armenian would miss several crucial matches both in the league and in European competition, seriously affecting the team's rotation.

Mkhitaryan's prolonged absence represents a serious setback for Inter, given the versatility and experience the Armenian brings to the midfield. The player has become a key piece in Chivu's tactical setup, able to connect defense with attack and contribute both creatively and in ball recovery. His absence will force the coach to readjust the midfield and demand that other midfielders in the squad step up.
