Matteo Politano has taken to social media to share his sadness after being ruled out for the time being through an injury to his ankle and to thank fans for their support.

The 26-year-old took a knock to his left ankle during Inter’s 3-2 loss to Borussia Dortmund and the club have confirmed he has sprained it.

Politano has made 12 appearances across all competitions for the Nerazzurri this term, almost all of which have come off of the substitutes bench. He has been unable to make any goal contributions in 284 minutes.

“Unfortunately I will have to stand still for a while: thank you all for the messages, see you soon,” he posted to Twitter.
