After missing the recent clashes with Pordenone and Udinese, Luciano Spalletti is hopeful of recovering Joao Mario for the Nerazzurri’s next game with Sassuolo on December 23 Corriere dello Sport detail.
The Portuguese missed the two games with a bout of tonsillitis, his second bout of the infection in the past month and a half. Should the issue re-occur for a third time in quick succession, it is very much possible that the 24-year-old will be forced to have surgery to correct the ongoing problem.
Joao Mario has been limited to just four starts this term but despite this, a number of the world’s top clubs remain interested – including Manchester United and Paris Saint Germain – as the January transfer window approaches. The midfielder joined Inter in a €40+ million transfer little over a year ago from Sporting Lisbon but has not been able to get a regular start due to inconsistent performances.
