Young defender Yann Bisseck is likely to pick up more playing time for Inter Milan with Benjamin Pavard out on the sidelines.

This according to today’s print edition of Milan-based newspaper Gazzetta dello Sport, via FCInterNews.

Bisseck arrived at Inter during the summer transfer window.

The 22-year-old German youth international joined from Danish club Aarhus. There was little doubt that Inter had signed Bisseck for the future more than for the present.

Therefore, it hasn’t come as too big of a surprise that Bisseck’s playing time has been limited.

However, the degree to which the German has been out of the picture has raised a few eyebrow.

Bisseck has made just a couple of cameo appearances from the bench.

The 22-year-old’s playing time totals around ten minutes at the start of November.

Therefore, there have been some suggestions that a January loan move could be on the cards for Bisseck. Torino and Frosinone are reportedly keen on the German.

And sooner or later, playing time would certainly be the priority for Bisseck.

But in the meantime, the young defender could be featuring more for Inter.

Yann Bisseck Could Have More Of A Role At Inter As Benjamin Pavard Injured

Inter signed two defenders during the summer transfer window.

And unlike Bisseck who was a signing for the future, ex-Bayern Munich defender Pavard was very much one for the present.

The 27-year-old has been a regular in the Inter starting eleven so far this season.

But Pavard picked up a knee injury against Atalanta yesterday.

It’s not yet entirely clear how long the Frenchman will be out for. But it will be weeks – potentially until Christmas.

And Inter will have a packed fixture list from now until the end of the year.

Apart from the November international break, the Nerazzurri will more or less be playing twice a week, between the league and the Champions League.

Therefore, there will be a need to rotate the squad between matches.

And with Pavard out of the picture for the time being, Bisseck’s role becomes more important.

It is not necessarily likely that the German will suddenly start a string of matches.

But a starting spot may be in the cards for him in the next few weeks. And at least from the bench, Bisseck will certainly have a bigger role.
