Inter's Injury Woes Ahead of Pisa Clash
Inter Milan will lose one of its stars while bringing back another ahead of Sunday's clash with Pisa, scheduled for the afternoon, in Serie A Round 13.
Inter aims to rebound after a painful defeat to its arch-rival Milan, 1-0 in Serie A, and then a 2-1 loss to Atletico Madrid in the Champions League.
Inter remains without stars Denzel Dumfries, Matteo Darmian, Tommaso Palasio and goalkeeper Raffaele De Genaro due to injuries.
During Saturday training, midfielder Henrikh Mkhitaryan returned after several weeks out with a muscle issue.
Sky Italia said that striker Angi Yuan Boni will not travel to Tuscany because of flu symptoms, meaning only Marcus Thuram, Lautaro Martínez and Francesco Esposito remain as forward options.
Boni, 22, joined Inter from Parma last summer in a deal worth about €25 million, reuniting with his former coach Kevo, who supervised him in the late part of last season.
Since joining the Nerazzurri, the young French striker has played 17 matches in all competitions, contributing 10 goal involvements (4 goals and 6 assists).
Boni has logged 435 minutes in 12 appearances, with 4 goals and as many assists; in the Champions League, he appeared in five games for 168 minutes, with two assists.
