The synthetic field was one of the great concerns for Inter ahead of the Champions League showdown at Young Boys home ground. The unusual terrain in Bern was also causing apprehension at a muscular level. And so it might have been for Carlos Augusto.
At the start of the second half, indeed, Inter’s winger collapsed on the ground clutching his left thigh. Nothing could be done for him, and he was immediately replaced by Federico Dimarco. The Brazilian seems to have suffered a hamstring problem, but his condition will have to be assessed in the coming days.
