The midfielder stops during training: he will be sidelined for the matches against Salernitana and Benfica, the aim is to have him back for the Bologna match before the international break.
Another obstacle stands between Simone Inzaghi and his anti-fatigue rotations. After Marko Arnautovic‘s setback, on the eve of Salernitana vs. Inter, there is also the – fortunately less severe – issue of Davide Frattesi, who will not travel to Campania.
The midfielder stopped during the pre-match training session due to muscle fatigue, and the initial instrumental clinical tests at the Humanitas clinic in Rozzano revealed a slight strain in the right hamstring.
THE SETBACK
This changes the coach’s plans for the seventh matchday of the league: it remains to be seen whether Inzaghi will still choose to rest an exhausted Henrikh Mkhitaryan (and who might replace him) or if he will confirm the lineup with him.
The injury is expected to keep Frattesi out of action for the Inter vs. Benfica match next Tuesday (the chances of a call-up are slim), then the situation will be continuously monitored. The hope is to have him available for the game against Bologna; otherwise, a more considered assessment will be made upon returning from the international break.
