Inter midfielder Antonio Candreva is still feeling pain from the back injury he suffered yesterday in the Nerazzurri’s goalless draw against Roma, putting him in doubt for next week’s Champions League clash against Barcelona, according to a report from Italian media outlet Gazzetta.it today.
The report details how the 32-year-old Italian felt pain again this morning, forcing him to miss squad training and instead follow a personalised routine. The injury is of great concern to coach Antonio Conte, who is already dealing with an injury crisis in midfield, with other options like Stefano Sensi, Nicolo Barella and Roberto Gagliardini all side-lined as well.
Tomorrow will be important for Candreva, the report continues, as the medical staff look to ensure his recovery in time for next week’s game. If Candreva is forced to miss the game, or at least start on the bench, then Conte will deploy Danilo D’Ambrosio in the right midfield role instead, considering that Valentino Lazaro is the likely candidate to fill the left midfield role.
