Mkhitaryan Expected To Miss Fiorentina Trip With Muscle Injury As Inter Await Tests

Further tests will clarify his layoff, with Inter considering Hakan Çalhanoğlu’s return or Piotr Zieliński as cover.

Overview

Henrikh Mkhitaryan sustained a muscle injury after coming on at half-time in Inter’s 1-1 draw with Atalanta.
He is expected to miss the Serie A match at Fiorentina on March 22, according to Italian reports, with medical checks due in the coming days.
Inter are hopeful Hakan Çalhanoğlu could be available in Florence after missing the last two league games through injury.
Piotr Zieliński is cited as a potential midfield replacement, with Petar Sucic’s chances to start reported to have diminished after a poor display.
Reports note the 37-year-old’s age could slow recovery, while Inter remain eight points clear at the top and are also weighing a one-year contract extension for him.
