From the first findings, the Frenchman’s ankle problem should not be serious. In the event of a forfeit in the derby, room for the Serbian center forward, who eliminated the Nerazzurri from the Europa League in 2019
Three minutes at the end of the match lost against Hungary yesterday, then on Sunday against Lithuania we’ll see. Luka Jovic is one of the fourteen Rossoneri traveling with the national teams, but his situation changed substantially around a quarter past nine last night, when Giroud left the pitch in the 25th minute of France-Ireland. It’s early to draw conclusions about his injury, and it shouldn’t be serious anyway. The player has good sensations, similar concepts filter through from Paris. But the ankle is tricky and, even in the absence of injuries, Oly’s seems destined to remain a delicate situation until the derby is upon us.

Jovic observes carefully, obviously he cannot rejoice in the misfortunes of a teammate, but at the same time he knows that he could get a very tempting opportunity. Yes, because his arrival at Milanello precisely defined the attacking “pairs”. If previously Okafor was considered bipartisan – useful both as deputy Leao and as deputy Giroud – now with Luka this bipolarism no longer exists. Oly’s alter ego is him. The premise concerns a psychological aspect, and it must be done: Jovic was in some way an obligatory choice on Milan’s part, because the Rossoneri club had not managed to reach the other objectives. Above all Taremi, then also Daka and Rafa Mir. When, in the final hours of the transfer window, the management understood that these were unattainable objectives – at least, not in such a short time frame -, Luka came back into fashion. In short, not exactly the first object of desire. On the other side of the scale, however, there is the possibility of performing in a club that plays in the Champions League and wants to win the scudetto.

In short, for someone like him who comes from a complicated season, the opportunity to get back on the launching pad is tempting. And having the opportunity to try in a glittering derby like this becomes unmissable. He, among other things, feels quite at ease when he sees Inter. Five matches between the championship, Italian Cup, Champions League and Europa League, and two goals. One was irrelevant, in a Fiorentina-Inter 3-4 in the league in October 2022. The other, however, was very painful for the Nerazzurri. 2018-19 season, round of 16 of the Europa League between Eintracht and Inter: 0-0 in the first leg in Frankfurt, 1-0 German at San Siro with qualifying goal by Luka after six minutes. It’s impossible that Jovic hasn’t already rewound that tape.
