Knee injury against Atalanta
Inter Milan will have to do without Benjamin Pavard for the time being. The new signing, who came from FC Bayern in the summer for 30 million euros, suffered a dislocation of the patella (dislocation) in his left knee in the game against Atalanta BC, as the Nerazzurri announced on Monday. The 27-year-old central defender now has to wear a functional splint for three to four weeks before he can begin rehab.
Pavard was substituted in the 33rd minute on Saturday after landing poorly following a header duel with Ademola Lookman. The Frenchman, who has missed three games for his new employer so far, is definitely out of the Serie A games against Frosinone (12/11), Juventus (26/11) and SSC Napoli (3/12), as well as the duels in the Champions League with Salzburg (8/11) and Benfica (29/11). He also has to miss the national team’s upcoming qualifying games. France already has participation in the 2024 European Championship in Germany in its pocket. In addition to Pavard, Inter have four other central defenders in their squad.
