Inter handed Mkhitaryan injury blow for Fiorentina game
Inter midfielder Henrikh Mkhitaryan is expected to miss the next Serie A match against Fiorentina due to a muscle injury, according to reports in Italy.
Inter midfielder Mkhitaryan suffered a muscle injury during a 1-1 draw against Atalanta on Saturday.
Italian sources, including Calciomercato.com, claim that the Armenian will undergo medical tests in the coming days to learn the extent of his injury.
The ex-Arsenal and Manchester United midfielder is expected to miss the next Serie A match against Fiorentina on March 22, but the Nerazzurri hope Hakan Çalhanoğlu will return to action in Florence.
Mkhitaryan played 45 minutes in Inter’s match against Atalanta, replacing Petar Sucic at half-time.
Mkhitaryan’s contract with Inter expires at the end of the season, and according to Italian sources, the Nerazzurri are considering offering him a one-year extension.
Mkhitaryan, 37, has scored two goals and provided three assists in 30 appearances across all competitions this season.
Inter remain the Serie A table leaders with an eight-point advantage over second-placed Milan, who have a game in hand.
