Lecce Vs Inter Milan – Lautaro To Miss Out After Tests Confirm Strain
However, he will miss the Lecce trip.
Although it is unclear as to whether or not he will be available for the second leg against Bodo/Glimt.
The injury does not appear to be long-term at this stage
However, Inter’s medical staff will closely monitor his recovery before setting a definitive return date.
Lautaro’s absence represents a significant blow for Cristian Chivu’s side, particularly during a crucial stretch of the season in both domestic and European competitions.
His leadership, movement, and finishing ability will be difficult to replace as Inter look to maintain momentum.
Time for Thuram to get his head out of his ass it seems
Thuram-Bony partnership was not working. So hopefully this presents an opportunity for Pio-Thuram or Bony-Pio
This is bad news, we’ll miss him because he is killer against low table sides. But, we have other scorers, hope Zielinski and Hakan keeps scoring from distance.
this is great news
based on what Chivu said i thought Lauti would be absent for months
however it’s good to know he’ll be available at the Milan Derby
also….playing at artificial grass is the stupidest idea in champions league history it’s a guaranteed injury for players
he is certain to miss the derby, whis is due on March 8
Its nice he’ll probably will be online soon. I have no doubt he’ll make it for the derby. Also nice that he’ll get to rest, bonny and pio will get to play more. Might even see a youngster or a change in formation. Davide should get fit. Now it’s his time to shine behind the striker.
Super excited for the next game. And then the arctic boys will get to see why pazza 🙂
Forza Inter
He’s been missing alot of chances and not really been on his level. He needs a rest and we need Bonny to play more minutes along with Pio starting regularly.
