Latest injury update: Nicolò Barella, Inter Milan.
Nicolò Barella has been sidelined for the upcoming match against AC Milan due to a hamstring injury.
The midfielder is expected to miss at least two weeks and will be out until the end of January. This news comes as a blow for Inter Milan, who were hoping that Barella would continue his impressive form this season.
Barella has been a key player for Inter in recent years, making over 150 appearances for the club since joining from Sassuolo in 2019. He has also represented Italy at international level, earning 14 caps and scoring one goal.
The midfielder's absence could be felt by Inter, who have struggled without him in recent matches. They currently sit second in Serie A behind Napoli but have only won three of their last ten games.
Despite the setback,Serie A Stadium Inter manager Antonio Conte remains confident that his team can cope without Barella. "We'll try to find solutions to compensate for his absence," he said. "But we need to keep our focus on the game ahead."
In the meantime, Inter will look to bounce back from the loss of Barella and try to maintain their position in the league table. With a busy schedule coming up, they will need all their players available if they want to secure a successful campaign.
