Inter Milan midfielder Nicolo Barella has reportedly undergone detailed medical checks on the injury that will prevent him from taking the field tonight.

According to FCInterNews, the 28-year-old visited the Humanitas Institute in Rozzano this morning to undergo examinations to assess the extent of the problem.

The Nerazzurri will take on Borussia Dortmund in a ‘make or break’ UEFA Champions League clash later this evening.

However, Cristian Chivu will be without two standout midfielders. In addition to Barella, Hakan Calhanoglu is also in the pits.

Barella sustained a muscle injury during Monday’s training session.

Therefore, he will not be at Chivu’s disposal for Inter’s final league-phase fixture.

Moreover, checks have revealed a minor muscular issue, and the club’s medical staff will closely monitor Barella’s condition in the coming days.

Meanwhile, Petar Sucic is likely to take the diminutive midfielder’s place tonight.

Barella has been vital to Chivu’s setup this season, registering 29 appearances across all competitions. Furthermore, he has amassed one goal and six assists.
