It never rains but it pours at Inter after the match against Napoli, in which a heavy defeat was suffered that is hard to digest in terms of the standings, because now the Azzurri have pulled three points ahead of Cristian Chivu‘s Nerazzurri side and have taken first place in the Serie A table.
Another piece of bad news for Inter is the injury to Henrikh Mkhitaryan, who, during the much-debated penalty awarded to Napoli, also suffered a muscle injury. The Nerazzurri number 22 still has to undergo a full set of instrumental tests, but there is already an initial diagnosis.
As reported by colleagues at Sky Sport, the initial diagnosis for Mkhitaryan is an injury to the flexors of the left thigh, and now there is concern about when he will return. The Inter midfielder is a key player for Chivu in midfield and it would be important to get him back quickly to avoid a long absence.
