Inter Milan defender Benjamin Pavard will undergo medical tests to assess his knee injury tomorrow.
This according to Italian broadcaster Sky Sport Italia, via FCInterNews. The tests should give a clearer idea of the severity of the injury and the recovery timeline.
Whilst Inter got the result they came for from the Gewiss Arena yesterday evening, there was one major black mark on the Serie A clash – the injury to Pavard.
Naturally, the biggest question surrounding the Frenchman’s condition is when he will be able to return.
The biggest fears appear to have been allayed. Pavard has not suffered a rupture or tear in a ligament in his left knee.
Therefore, it is not as though the 27-year-old former Bayern Munich man will likely be out for months upon months.
In contrast, for example, Torino defender Perr Schuurs will be out for virtually the rest of the season with a knee injury of his own.
And Inter can breathe a certain sigh of relief that this won’t likely be the case with Pavard.
However, whilst by all indications it’s not a ligament rupture, there is still little certainty about exactly what and how serious Pavard’s injury.
Inter Defender Benjamin Pavard Set For Medical Tests Tomorrow
Further medical tests will be needed to reveal more about the scope of Pavard’s injury.
And according to Sky, those tests will take place tomorrow.
The Nerazzurri will look to see roughly when Pavard will be able to return.
It will likely be a matter of several weeks. However, the club are hopeful of relatively optimistic news – it may not be more than a month, or two at the most.
In the meantime, however, Inter will have to cope without a key player in defense.
Pavard has featured regularly in the starting eleven since his summer move from Bayern Munich.
