There are no good feelings about Carlos Augusto’s condition after the injury that forced him out of the Champions League match in Switzerland against Young Boys. The Brazilian winger was replaced in the 54th minute by Dimarco due to a muscle problem suffered in an unsuccessful attempt to keep the ball on the pitch: a strain on the flexors of his left thigh. Inter coach Simone Inzaghi wasn’t too optimistic about the former Monza player’s condition, and what is filtering is that it could remain out for at least a month.
As a result, Carlos Augusto will certainly be unavailable for Inter’s next match, the big match against Juventus scheduled for Sunday at San Siro. The medical staff together with the coach will monitor the Brazilian’s recovery, without risking losing him for longer, which is why he probably won’t be risked even in the following championship matches in Empoli and at home against Venezia. He should also miss the Champions League match against Arsenal and the one against Napoli, and could return for the match on November 23 against Verona.
In the meantime, several wingers will have to step up to fill the void left by Carlos Augusto’s injury. Dumfries, Darmian, Dimarco, and Buchanan, who have all been sidelined with injuries, are now ready to return to the pitch after recovering from their injuries. It remains to be seen how Inter will adapt to the loss of such an important player, but one thing is certain: the team will need to dig deep to cope with the absence of Carlos Augusto, who has played a crucial role in Inter’s success so far.
