Roberto Gagliardini will be busy receiving treatment for his muscle injury to the right thigh today, which was inflicted early on in Inter’s clash with Cagliari.
“Next week the midfielder will be subjected to further investigations that will clarify whether or not it possible to increase his work load in the hope of speeding up his return”, as reported by Corriere dello Sport.
Luciano Spalletti did not hide his hope to have him back for what is expected to be a Champions League play-off game with Lazio on the last day of the season (May 20th) or even before.
The young Italian endured a rough patch of form in the early stages of the season, resulting in some time on the bench before finding a naturally efficient partnership with Marcelo Brozovic. Since his injury, Borja Valero has failed to recreate the same chemistry with Brozo but there is still hope that Vecino will be able maintain the same levels of quality that Gaglia was achieving, as the Uruguayan is expected to fully return in time for the Derby D’Italia on Saturday.
