Inter’s chief executive Beppe Marotta is back at work after recovering from COVID-19, according to a report in the Italian media.

Gazzetta dello Sport’s print edition said Marotta was discharged from the Humanitas hospital in Milan on Saturday after being taken there as a precautionary measure.

Marotta attended yesterday’s virtual Lega Serie A meeting in which Italy’s top-flight clubs tried to resolve the impasse regarding the league’s next batch of TV rights.

This was his first public appearance since contracting COVID-19, the Milan-based paper explained, albeit only in an online setting.

Inter will need Marotta for their Serie A title run-in as Antonio Conte’s side look to secure the Scudetto amid off-field problems for owners Suning.

Marotta did an exceptional job during the first part of 2021 in keeping the Nerazzurri’s players isolated from the uncertainty at corporate level, allowing Inter to pull six points clear of AC Milan (with a game in hand) at the top of the table.
