Radja Nainggolan is trying his hardest to make himself available to manager Luciano Spalletti for Inter’s next game with Torino having missed yesterday’s loss to Sassuolo.

The Belgian, who joined earlier this summer from Roma, picked up an injury to his thigh in Inter’s second pre-season match with FC Sion just over a month ago but has remained sidelined since despite the injury he sustained typically taking around just 10 days to recover from. Turin based newspaper Tuttosport report that there was a relapse and that is the reason why he has not played despite his best efforts to recover.

The report from Tuttosport goes on to state that Spalletti is not prepared to risk the 30-year-old if he is not fully recovered nor does he even need to think about risking him due to the fact he many players he has to chose from and that can fill in in the absence of the Ninja.
