According to the Gazzetta, however, the feeling is that Mkhitaryan may not be back until the final next month.
The early signs have been that the Armenian’s injury is not insignificant.
Nerazzurri coach Simone Inzaghi had already updated about Mkhitaryan’s condition after the match. The coach projected optimism, but was uncertain.
However, the problem may be enough to rule Mkhitaryan out for the rest of Inter’s Serie A campaign, and for the Coppa Italia final.
According to the Gazzetta, there is a good chance that the 34-year-old will not be back in time for the Nerazzurri’s final league match against Torino.
