Bad news continue to come from Appiano Gentile after the training resumed yesterday. Despite having a free week to work in peace without any obligations, Simone Inzaghi will still not be able to rely on the entire group. This is because, in addition to Thuram who has returned to training separately, the coach lost another player in the last match.
As reported by La Gazzetta dello Sport this morning, in the final minutes of Juventus-Inter, Carlos Augusto also suffered an injury. The Brazilian sustained a severe contusion to his calf and is officially considered at risk for Inter-Genoa. It remains to be seen how quickly the edema will subside, although there is optimism coming from the medical staff.
It will be a race against time for a real wild card of Inzaghi, who can be used both as a midfield and a defensive player. In light of Bastoni‘s warning, who would miss Napoli-Inter with another yellow card, it might be a wise choice to start Carlos Augusto from the first minute if he could recover by Saturday. Two other Inter players on warning, who the coach could use with caution, are Mkhitaryan and Barella.
