Rome, Aug 9 – (Adnkronos) – While Simone I will be leading the attack for Inter Milan, coach Antonio Conte will have to do without defender Stefan de Vrij. The former Lazio player suffered an injury during the friendly match against Al-Ittihad, which ended in a 2-0 defeat for Inter. According to the medical tests, de Vrij has a muscular strain in his left thigh biceps, which will keep him out of the first league game against Genoa.
This is certainly a setback for Inter, as de Vrij has been a key player in their defense since joining the team in 2018. However, there is no need to panic just yet. Conte has a deep squad and will surely find a suitable replacement for the Dutch defender.
De Vrij’s absence will be felt, especially in the opening game against Genoa. But it is also an opportunity for other players to step up and prove their worth. This is the beauty of having a strong and versatile squad – injuries can be dealt with without compromising the team’s performance.
Conte will have to choose between Diego Godin, Milan Skriniar, and Alessandro Bastoni to fill in for de Vrij. All three are experienced and talented defenders who have the ability to make an impact on the field. And with the support of the midfield and attack, Inter can still maintain a solid defense and secure a positive result against Genoa.
Moreover, this injury can also serve as a wake-up call for Inter. After a disappointing season last year, the team has made some promising signings and has high hopes for the upcoming season. However, this injury reminds us that anything can happen in football and that the team must always be prepared to face challenges.
On the bright side, this gives de Vrij a chance to fully recover and come back stronger. With the help of the medical staff and his determination, he will surely be back on the field in no time. And when he does, he will be even more motivated to make a difference and help his team achieve their goals.
In the meantime, the rest of the team must focus on their preparations for the first game of the season. They have a strong squad, a talented coach, and the support of their fans. This is the perfect recipe for success and there is no doubt that Inter will give their best and start the season on a positive note.
In conclusion, while de Vrij’s injury is a setback for Inter, it is not a reason to lose hope. The team has the resources and determination to overcome this obstacle and continue their journey towards success. Let’s support them and trust that they will do their best on the field, starting with the game against Genoa. vigore Inter!
