Inter Milan receive positive updates on Alexis Sanchez who only sustained a slight muscle strain, and thus could return to action soon enough.
On Saturday, reports revealed that the Chilean is suffering from muscular fatigue. This prevented him from traveling to Rome with the rest of the squad.
Therefore, the 34-year-old will be watching this evening’s clash against Lazio from home.
He joins the likes of Stefan de Vrij, Denzel Dumfries and Juan Cuadrado who are all on the treatment table.
Nonetheless, Il Corriere dello Sport (via FcInterNews) offers relieving updates on the player’s condition.
The Roman newspaper claims that Sanchez has avoided a serious injury.
The source believes the strike’s condition is far from concerning for the club. In fact, the veteran may even make his return to the pitch as early as midweek.
Inter will host Bologna on Wednesday in the Coppa Italia Round of 16. The report doesn’t rule out a return in this fixture.

This would be an important boost for Simone Inzaghi who might be considering rotating his troops against the Emilian side.
Sanchez made his return to Inter for a second spell in August. Since then, he made six appearances in Serie A, but only once as a starter. He’s yet to score a league goal or provide an assist.
However, the former Arsenal and Barcelona star has been offering more fruitful contributions in the Champions League. He scored twice in six outings during the group stage.
