Tajon Buchanan is currently in the infirmary and continues to follow the rehabilitation plan designed by Inter’s medical staff after fracturing his right tibia with Canada during the last Copa America in training.
The recovery of the winger is going well, according to Tuttosport, better than expected. And in the Nerazzurri camp, there is already an indicative date for his return from injury: if everything goes according to plan, the 1999 class could return between mid-October and early November. Much will depend, in this sense, on the timing of Buchanan regaining his athletic condition.
According to the Turin newspaper, the Canadian who arrived from Bruges last January could prove to be very useful for Simone Inzaghi. The Inter coach had used him on the left during the second phase of the previous season, but upon his return, Buchanan could move and effectively become a new right winger.
A clue comes from the movements made in the summer transfer market. At the time of his injury, in fact, the Nerazzurri decided to acquire a left-footed defender, namely Tomas Palacios, thus allowing Carlos Augusto to move back to the wing as a backup for Federico Dimarco. Inter seems to be abundantly covered on the left, since Francesco Acerbi can also be used as the third choice left-back in the defensive trio.
A different story for the right flank, where the duo is formed by Matteo Darmian and Denzel Dumfries, with the former starting in all three games played by Inter so far (Genoa, Lecce, and Atalanta). However, the former Torino player will turn 35 in December, so from a demographic point of view, an alternative is necessary. The Dutchman could be that alternative, but he needs to regain consistency that has been lacking since last winter. For all these reasons, Buchanan could become a valuable addition, bringing in characteristics missing in both Darmian and Dumfries, including the ability to consistently take on opponents one-on-one.
