Inter Milan defender Alessandro Bastoni will miss Tuesday’s Coppa Italia clash against Como due to injury.
According to Corriere della Sera via FCInter1908, Cristian Chivu won’t force the 26-year-old’s premature return to action.
Alessandro Bastoni missed Friday’s 3-0 home rout of Serie A minnows Cagliari after sustaining a minor leg injury.
Furthermore, he won’t be at Chivu’s disposal for tomorrow night’s ‘make or break’ showdown against Como.
Inter held the Lariani to a scoreless draw in the first leg of their semi-final tie last month, leaving the contest evenly poised ahead of the return fixture.
When Inter Milan Star Alessandro Bastoni Could Return from Injury
With Bastoni unavailable for selection, Chivu will likely turn to Carlos Augusto to fill the vacant spot at the back.
Meanwhile, the Italian center-back is reportedly at risk of missing Inter’s upcoming Serie A clash against Torino.
Indeed, he is more likely to make his long-awaited return against Parma at San Siro the following weekend.
In the meantime, rumors surrounding his future are gaining momentum, with Barcelona keen to lure him to the Camp Nou this summer.
Despite the player’s desire to stay at Inter, his unbearable situation in Serie A could force his summer exit.
