Inter have confirmed that Benjamin Pavard has suffered an injury to his thigh, adding to a growing injury list that also includes Lautaro Martinez, John Stones and Curtis Jones.
Inter confirm Pavard injury diagnosis
The Nerazzurri have confirmed in a statement that Pavard has suffered a strain to the adductors of the thigh in his right leg after reporting for medical examinations in Milan on Thursday morning.
Initial reports suggest that the Frenchman will be sidelined for a period of around 20 days, which means that he is set to miss out on upcoming Serie A fixtures against Bologna, Fiorentina, Venezia and likely the Derby della Madonnina against Milan at the end of the month as well.
It has been a frustrating few days for Cristian Chivu and his squad, who fell to a 4-3 defeat at home against Club Brugge in the Champions League on Tuesday night, leaving them with zero points after two matches in the competition.
Captain and talisman Lautaro Martinez also picked up a hamstring issue during the Club Brugge defeat and is now facing several weeks on the sidelines.
Summer signing Jones is also nursing a thigh injury and is facing another few weeks on the sidelines, whilst Stones has not featured since picking up a hamstring issue on his first competitive start for the club back in September.
