Inter face concerns over the fitness of Carlos Augusto and Marko Arnautovic ahead of their crucial Champions League clash with Atletico Madrid. Despite securing a hard-fought 1-0 victory against Bologna in Serie A, with Yann Bisseck’s diving header proving decisive, Inter’s joy was tempered by injury worries.
Carlos Augusto was forced off at halftime due to a calf issue, raising doubts over his availability for upcoming fixtures.
However, the most significant concern surrounds Marko Arnautovic, who suffered a potentially serious injury during the match. The Austrian forward, brought on as a substitute in the second half, was seen clutching the back of his right thigh in stoppage time.
Sky Sport Italia report how medical staff had to assist Arnautovic off the field, and there are fears that he may have sustained damage to his adductor or hamstring. Such an injury could sideline him for several weeks, casting doubt on his participation in the upcoming Champions League clash against Atletico Madrid.
Moreover, it’s particularly concerning as the injury occurred to the same leg where he suffered a torn hamstring earlier in the campaign, sidelining him for a significant period.
