Tajon Buchanan is making his return to the field after sustaining a serious injury in the Copa America. The Canadian wing, included in Inter’s Champions League roster, has been making a speedy recovery, and according to rumors, he is targeting a return for the second half of October, ready to be available during one of the most intense periods of the season.
Indirectly, Buchanan’s return changes some of Inzaghi‘s strategies, including for the defense. According to Corriere dello Sport, the possibility of using new player Tomas Palacios in the center-back position should not be ruled out, considering that with the Canadian on the left, Carlos Augusto could move back to the role of Bastoni’s substitute. At that point, the Argentine who came from Independiente Rivadavia to cover that role, could be used behind Acerbi and de Vrij to start creating the new center-back of the future, as it is likely that at the end of the season at least one of the current center-backs will say goodbye to the Nerazzurri squad.
The opinion of Passione Inter
With his nearly two meters in height and good technical skills with the ball at his feet, Palacios is an undiscovered profile but with significant capabilities on which to build a center-back of the future. While waiting for a possible more ready player for 2025, the idea of working on him for a year could be very interesting.
