The Belgian available after the national break: now it’s up to Dzeko and Correa to support the immovable Lautaro
It is useless to have too many illusions because it would be uselessas well as potentially very harmful, to risk. Right now the most plausible date to review on the pitch Lukaku is that of 2 October (advances and postponements are in fact still to be defined), upon returning after the national break, when Inter will face Roma three days before the Champions League match against Barcelona. The Belgian has obviously already started the recovery process, the new exams scheduled for next week will serve to get a more precise picture. For now it is necessary to stick to the press release of the club in which we speak generically of distraction to the flexors: the extent of muscle damage is not specified and this leaves room for any kind of consideration, just think that a year ago in the face of an identical press release Correa’s stop was just under two months. From what filters the situation today is different, the less serious injury, Lukaku’s musculature decidedly “less fragile” than that of the Argentine. In any case, unless there are unlikely accelerations, Big Rom will miss six gamesfour in the league (Cremonese, Milan, Turin and Udinese) and the two in the Champions League against Bayern and Viktoria Plzen.
In such a busy schedule Inzaghi at this point he must ask for overtime a Lautaro – essential – and hope that Dzeko and Correa know how to give the expected contribution. In the summer rotations, the game of couples in attack was very clear, now we need to reshuffle the cards: the Bosnian has decidedly different characteristics from Lukaku but with him in the attacker-director version last season Inter showed the best things from the point of view of the game. This net of a state of form that is not yet at the top. However, Correa’s desire for redemption could be useful, the player who, due to technical and tactical characteristics, could best integrate with Lautaro. Any changes of form could revolutionize the Nerazzurri’s tactical set-up but history teaches that Inzaghi hardly gives up his trusty 3-5-2. So, translated, the rotations will concern the three strikers left at his disposal. Waiting for the return of Big Rom who, skipping the Nations League challenges of his Belgium, will be able to recover an optimal state of form.
