Keita Balde not going on international duty over the international break could be just what he needs to launch his Inter career a report from Gazzetta dello Sport detail.

Due to an administrative gaffe from the Senegalese FA which involved them sending his national team call-up to a wrong Inter email address, he will now be at Appiano Gentile for the duration of the break.

Keita Balde was specifically requested by Inter manager Luciano Spalletti but has yet to show his best while in Nerazzurri having failed to score in 13 appearances wherein he has tallied just one assist.

The 23-year-old’s speed and trickery could be of huge benefit to the well-oiled machine that is Inter at the moment if he can get himself going. Rather than settle for substitute appearances, he could give Spalletti a different option to Ivan Perisic who has not exactly set the world alight with his performances either this campaign.
