Inter midfielder Nicolo Barella is in doubt for this afternoon’s Serie A clash against Bologna, according to a report from today’s paper edition of the Rome based newspaper Corriere dello Sport.
The report details how the 23-year-old Italian midfielder, who is contracted to the Nerazzurri until 2024, is suffering from a slight adductor fatigue and may start this afternoon’s game against the Rossoblu on the bench. The former Cagliari man did finish training with his squad yesterday but is in a slight amount of pain.
Inter coach Antonio Conte will decide later whether to start him or deploy another midfielder alongside Roberto Gagliardini, the report continues, with both Croatian Marcelo Brozovic and Spaniard Borja Valero in contention.
Barella has made 33 appearances across all competitions so far this season, for a total of 2365 minutes. In that time, he has scored three goals and provided six assists, being a core part of Conte’s squad.
