Inter Milan’s Henrikh Mkhitaryan will be sidelined for this weekend’s Serie A showdown against Torino due to muscular fatigue.
This news comes from the Italian source Sky Sport Italia, as reported by FCInterNews.
The 36-year-old midfielder took to the pitch as a starter in Tuesday’s Champions League semifinal against Barcelona and gave it his all.
As is typical, Mkhitaryan was one of the standout players, covering extensive ground and tirelessly contributing in the midfield.
His efforts included providing crucial defensive support against Barcelona’s electrifying winger, Lamine Yamal.
Although he came off the field as a substitute later in the second half, Mkhitaryan left everything on the pitch.
Henrikh Mkhitaryan Expected to Miss Clash Against Torino in Serie A
However, as reported by Sky, his brilliant performance came at a physical expense.
It has been confirmed that the Armenian star is dealing with a muscle issue.
Thus, Mkhitaryan didn’t join his teammates for today’s training session. Instead, he focused on individual recovery following the demanding match.
The concern revolves around a strain in his right thigh.
Given this situation, it appears likely that Mkhitaryan will be absent for Inter’s critical match.
The Nerazzurri are set to face Torino away this Sunday evening in Serie A, and his presence will surely be missed.
