Radja Nainggolan’s absence from Inter’s opening game of the season will be a huge blow. The Belgian midfielder used his Twitter profile to send a message of encouragement to his teammates before the match against Sassuolo and aims to make his return back to the pitch for next Sunday’s game against Torino at the San Siro.

His message reads: “Today we start again, good luck guys, I’m sorry I can not be there, but I’m working hard to be there next week.”
