Inter Milan midfielder Davide Frattesi might have to skip the weekend action against Genoa after suffering a knock last night.
The Italian sustained what appears to be a slight knock during yesterday’s 4-0 hammering win over Atalanta.
The 24-year-old started his evening on the bench before entering the pitch as a replacement for Henrikh Mkhitaryan in the 62nd minute.
While the score was already 3-0 upon his introduction, Frattesi was still eager to leave his mark, thus netting his second goal in as many matches.
The former Sassuolo man nodded home the fourth strike after meeting Alexis Sanchez’s freekick delivery with a clinical header.
But sadly for the midfielder, the celebrations were cut short as he seemed to have picked up an injury.
Frattesi left his place on the pitch to Davy Klaassen just 10 minutes following his entry.
While this incident blemished what was an otherwise perfect evening for Inter, it appears that the player has avoided a serious injury.
According to La Gazzetta dello Sport via FcInterNews, Frattesi has suffered an adductor contracture.
The medical staff will be evaluating the Italian’s condition in the next hours. Nevertheless, the primary diagnosis suggests that the issue is a slight one.
Inter Milan Midfielder Davide Frattesi Likely To Miss Genoa Encounter
Yet, the pink newspaper still expects Frattesi to miss the upcoming match against Genoa on Monday night.
This will create a mini-crisis in the middle of the park for Simone Inzaghi who is also without Hakan Calhanoglu.
The Turk is unlikely to recover in time for the clash against Grifone.
Nevertheless, the Inter manager could receive a significant boost as Marcus Thuram and Francesco Acerbi are aiming for a call-up on Monday.
