Inzaghi's optimism amidst injury woes: Inter Milan awaits Sanchez's return in hectic fixture run

Posted : 27 November 2023

Inter Milan's head honcho, Simone Inzaghi, is crossing his fingers for the return of Alexis Sanchez this week. The Serie A leaders are gearing up for a hectic stretch of fixtures, grappling with a slew of injuries to key players. Sanchez, the former Arsenal and Manchester United dynamo, sustained an ankle sprain during Chile's World Cup qualifiers, sidelining him for the recent 1-1 standoff against second-placed Juventus.

 

The Nerazzurri are bracing themselves for a relentless schedule, with matches looming twice a week until the festive season, starting with a crucial Champions League clash against Benfica on Wednesday. Inzaghi expressed his optimism about Sanchez's potential availability, stating, "We’ll make our assessments in the hope that Sanchez will be back fit for our next game. Now, we have Benfica and Napoli coming up, and we’re currently missing players."

 

The injury bug hasn't spared others, as Alessandro Bastoni and Benjamin Pavard were also notable absentees during the Juventus bout. The challenge of hitting the pitch every 48 hours is a formidable one, acknowledged by Inzaghi, who lauded the unwavering commitment of his squad. Despite the arduous schedule, he emphasized their collective dedication, saying, "Taking to the pitch every 48 hours isn’t easy, but I’m lucky to have lads who always show great willingness and make themselves available to me and my staff."

 

Inzaghi highlighted the team's historical adaptability to a rigorous fixture list, stating, "We’ve always rotated things when we’ve had to play three matches per week ... with such a difficult calendar, we need to work even harder." As Inter braces for the challenges ahead, their manager remains optimistic, drawing strength from the resilience and work ethic ingrained in his squad.
