Inter’s Brazilian defender Joao Miranda has suffered a fracture to his nose after undergoing examinations at the Istituto Clinico Humanitas in Rozzano.

The former Atletico Madrid man had to come off at half time in today’s Serie A match against SPAL after receiving an elbow to the face from Andrea Petagna. Now the medical examinations have shown that Miranda has suffered a fracture to his nose, and that he will undergo a minor corrective surgery within the next 48 hours at which point the time needed to recover from this injury will be assessed.
