Alexis Sanchez will not play for Inter again in this calendar year according to a report in today’s print edition of Italian daily newspaper Gazzetta dello Sport.

The Chilean national team player picked up a thigh injury in the win over Cagliari at the weekend and it has proven to be more serious than expected. He missed the win over Napoli and will miss this weekend’s match with Spezia and next week’s match away to Hellas Verona.

Andrea Pinamonti is still out with an ankle injury whilst the report from the Milan based news outlet goes on to state that Arturo Vidal will make a return to action against Spezia after recovering from injury.

Marcelo Brozovic will have his condition evaluated by Inter’s medical staff today after he picked up an injury against Napoli and the report from the Milan based news outlet concludes that there is confidence that he will be able to play versus the Ligurian side.
