Among the most concerning visuals from yesterday evening’s draw, apart from a poor second-half in which Inter allowed Parma to recover in what seemed to be an almost secured match, was undoubtedly Alessandro Bastoni sitting on the bench with an ice pack placed around his left knee.
The Nerazzurri defender was the only player not returning after halftime, due to this minor issue he experienced. Immediately reassuring everyone about the severity of the problem was assistant manager Farris, who addressed it in his post-match statements. Confirming the positive feelings from the medical staff are the newest updates concerning Bastoni’s condition.
As reported this morning by La Gazzetta dello Sport, the initial worry surrounding Bastoni’s left knee quickly reduced at the end of the match compared to initial concerns from the field. Today, of course, the center-back will undergo further evaluations, but it appears it was simply mild fatigue, promptly treated with ice, as is common in these cases.
Thus, facing Bayern Munich, his availability does not seem to be at risk. Bastoni will regularly take his place in Inter’s three-man defense, completing the line alongside Acerbi and former Bayern player Pavard.
