Inter Milan has confirmed that midfielder Nicolo Barella is sidelined with a thigh injury, ruling him out for at least the next two games. The 27-year-old Italian international, a key player for Inter, sustained a strain in the rectus femoris of his right thigh, as announced by the club in a statement.
Barella, who has made a significant 175 appearances for Inter in Serie A, is a vital part of the team’s midfield. His absence is a blow for the reigning Italian champions, who are currently sixth in the league standings with eight points from five matches.
The club stated that Barella’s condition will be reassessed next week. This means he will definitely miss Inter’s upcoming Serie A clash against Udinese on Saturday, followed by their Champions League encounter against Red Star Belgrade on Tuesday.
With Barella out, Inter will need to rely on other midfielders to fill the void and maintain their momentum in both competitions. Fans will be eagerly awaiting news on his recovery and hoping for a speedy return to action.
