In addition to the damage, Inter also suffered a mockery, two days after the derby lost against Milan. In addition to the defeat against the Rossoneri, Simone Inzaghi woke up this morning with terrible news. The Nerazzurri coach, forced to replace Barella due to a muscle problem, will indeed have to give up his midfielder for several games.
As officially announced by Inter at the end of the instrumental exams that Barella underwent this morning, it was a more serious injury than expected. The former Cagliari player suffered a right thigh femoral rectus strain, a stop that will keep him out for about two weeks. Given the break in mid-October, we will not see Barella on the field for almost a month.
The Inter midfielder will be forced to skip the next three commitments leading to the break dedicated to the National teams, respectively against Udinese, Red Star and Torino. Barella, who at this point is unlikely to respond to any call from Luciano Spalletti, should therefore return among the called up for Roma-Inter on 20th October.
