Overview
- Inter’s medical staff diagnosed a strain of the soleus muscle in Darmian’s left leg after the friendly against Atletico Madrid in Libya.
- Club guidance rules him out of Saturday’s trip to Roma and the Champions League match against Union Saint-Gilloise, with an assessment scheduled next week.
- Inter indicate an absence of at least a couple of weeks, though some reports suggest a 10‑day timeline and differ on whether the injury is to the right or left leg.
- Darmian, nearing 36, has featured sparingly this season under Cristian Chivu but remains a versatile backup in Inter’s defensive setup.
- Football Italia reports he is unlikely to be ready for Napoli on October 25, and Chivu is also awaiting clarity on Marcus Thuram’s recovery.
