Up to this point, there are only three players from the Inter squad who have not yet played a single minute. In addition to Josep Martinez and Raffaele Di Gennaro, respectively the second and third goalkeepers, Tajon Buchanan is also missing from the roll call.
The Canadian suffered a tibia fracture in early July that kept him out for more than four months and he only returned to the squad against Juventus a week ago. After being benched twice against Juventus and Empoli, it could be time for Buchanan to make his season debut.
According to the Corriere dello Sport, training data from Appiano Gentile clearly indicates a growing fitness level and at this point, Buchanan can consider himself ready to return to the field. Simone Inzaghi could throw him into the fray as soon as tomorrow against Venezia in the second half, especially if the game starts to go downhill.
Inter currently needs the former Bruges player, especially on the left wing, where Federico Dimarco is working overtime due to the injury of Carlos Augusto. Giving the Italian winger a rest – even during the game – would be of fundamental importance, given the upcoming commitments against Arsenal and Napoli in which the number 32 will still be a starter.
