Simone Inzaghi Hoping Joaquin Correa Fit Enough To At Least Sit On Bench Against Sassuolo But Romelu Lukaku To Miss Game Through Injury, Italian Media Report

Inter head coach Simone Inzaghi will be hoping that Joaquin Correa is fit to make the bench against Sassuolo over the weekend after he suffered a knee problem.

This according to Italian news outlet FCInterNews, who report that it’s not yet clear whether the Argentine will be fit enough to make the bench for Saturday’s Serie A clash, whilst Romelu Lukaku will definitely be out injured.

Inter have already been somewhat shorthanded in attack with Lukaku having been out for several weeks with a thigh problem.

Now, Inzaghi will have his resources stretched even further in the forward positions, as Correa suffered a strain to tendons in his left knee against Barcelona.

It remains to be seen how long the 28-year-old’s recovery will take, but he may be fit to be on the bench on Saturday.

Meanwhile, Lukaku will not be fit to play against the Neroverdi, but is targeting a return against Barcelona next Wednesday.
