Last week’s hand injury to Yann Sommer was a bolt from the blue for Inter Milan. Fortunately, the alarm was mitigated by the good performances of Josep Martinez, against Genoa and Lazio, but it is clear that the Swiss goalkeeper’s return is crucial for the black and blues.
Sommer himself seems eager to return to the field as soon as possible, as highlighted by La Gazzetta dello Sport. He will definitely miss the match against Napoli and the two Champions League round of 16 matches against Feyenoord.
According to the newspaper, therefore, the aim would be the match against Atalanta on 16th March. To do this, Inter are thinking of applying a brace, which would speed up the recovery time. Sommer will try it out in the next few days.
The hypothesis remains difficult, especially because after the match in Bergamo there will be two weeks of rest for the national teams, which would allow for a complete and safer recovery. Risking a relapse beforehand could be an unwise choice.
