Champions League 2024-25: Federico Dimarco to miss Inter’s Feyenoord clash with thigh injury
Federico Dimarco will miss Inter Milan’s Champions League clash at Feyenoord after the Serie A leaders said on Monday that the Italy wing-back had suffered a thigh injury.
In a statement, Inter said that tests carried out on Monday “revealed that he had strained a muscle in his right thigh” during Saturday’s 1-1 draw at league title rivals Napoli.
Italian media reported that Dimarco will be out of action for around three weeks, meaning he will miss both legs of Inter’s last-16 tie with Feyenoord, with the first leg being held in Rotterdam on Wednesday.
The 27-year-old is also at risk of missing both of Italy’s Nations League quarterfinal fixtures with Germany later this month.
Dimarco’s injury is a blow for Inter coach Simone Inzaghi who now has just one wing-back — Denzel Dumfries — available, with Matteo Darmian, Carlos Augusto and Nicola Zalewski also injured.
Inter lead Serie A by a point from Napoli after the pair’s exciting draw at the weekend, with Atalanta a further two points back in third.
