Bastoni's Ankle Woes: Torino Return Targeted
17 Apr
Summary
- Bastoni targets April 26th return against Torino.
- Injury stems from collision in Milan derby match.
- Medical team prioritizes full recovery over short-term risks.
Inter Milan defender Alessandro Bastoni will miss both the upcoming Serie A match against Cagliari and the Coppa Italia semi-final second leg against Como. His recovery timeline is being managed carefully, with medical staff aiming for his return on April 26th for the fixture against Torino.
Bastoni has been managing discomfort since a collision with Rabiot in the Milan derby, which has also caused ankle problems. Despite his willingness to play through pain, the medical team has decided that adequate rest and unrestricted training are essential for a proper recovery.
This strategic return plan is designed to ensure Bastoni is in optimal condition for the crucial Torino match, with the objective of him playing for approximately one hour. This controlled reintroduction minimizes the risk of further injury during the season's most vital weeks.
In Bastoni's absence, Inter will rely on Carlos Augusto and veteran Francesco Acerbi to fill the left centre-back position. Both players have performed admirably, and are expected to continue their reliable performances for the upcoming fixtures.
