Keita Balde will not travel with his Inter teammates to Frankfurt having failed to recover in time from his injury according to a report from Sky Sport.

The Senegalese winger has shown a lot of promise with his recovery in the past week or so from a thigh injury that has kept him out of action since January.

23-year-old Keita Balde was included in the squad for the match with Parma a few weeks ago but did not make the match day squad with the game just coming too soon for him.

Since his arrival on a season long loan – something Inter have the option to turn in to a permanent move – the former Lazio player has made 21 appearances across all competitions this term.

After a slow start to life in Nerazzurri, in the lead up to injury he was beginning to find form and he will no doubt hope that he can reach that level as quickly as he can once he returns.
