Inter loses two more pieces: emergency in defense for Inzaghi
Inter: Stefan De Vrij and Denzel Dumfries ko
If Inter's show of strength in Napoli, where it è imposed itself with a dry 3-0 canò make coach Simone Inzaghi smile, the same is not true regarding the injury situation, especially in defense. Against the partenopei, in fact, both Stefan De Vrij and Denzel Dumfries were forced to leave the field due to injury.
The Dutch central defender felt a muscle soreness in his left inner thigh, leaving the field to Carlos Augusto after only 18 minutes because of an adductor strain. In the final 77'the Dutch outfielder also had to raise the white flag, due to a muscle soreness in the left thigh flexors. In his place è Cuadrado took over.
"I hope to put Bastoni back in next week,‖ said the Nerazzurri coach, after the game.
On De Vrij there'è more pessimism than on Dumfries. In 10-15 days, Pavard will return as well. De Vrij was a player who had also played on Wednesday with his own national team. He was being watched, had deserved rest, but there was no space. On Dumfries there'è more optimism, can't tell if it's a twinge, cramp or something else. The goal è getting Bastoni back in the group, I think we can do it. Pavard also saw him well. The hope è that he can come back too".
The goal, then, è to recover at least Bastoni for the next round with Udinese, scheduled for Saturday night at San Siro. Otherwise, Inzaghi will be forced to deploy Carlos Augusto again, who nonetheless performed well in the left arm role in the 'Maradona' match. In any case, both De Vrij and Dumfries will conduct instrumental examinations to verify the'extent'of the injury.
