If on one hand there is certainly no good news coming to Appiano Gentile regarding Denzel Dumfries’s injury, on the other hand, what brings a small smile to Cristian Chivu are the latest updates on Mkhitaryan. The Armenian midfielder, considered indispensable by the Romanian coach, is in fact ready to return to the field.
As written by La Gazzetta dello Sport, Inter’s doctors have set the date for his return to group training a month after the unfortunate muscle problem he suffered against Napoli. Mkhitaryan, who will clearly not be available for Atletico Madrid-Inter tomorrow night, will be able to resume working with his teammates starting Thursday.
The goal for the midfielder is therefore to earn a first call-up as early as next Sunday when his Inter will be playing away against Pisa for the thirteenth round of Serie A. An important return for Chivu at a crucial and delicate moment of the Nerazzurri’s season.
