Osvaldo injured and an INTERnational update

Bad news on the injury front, Interisti.

Dani Osvaldo was injured during Italy training and will be out for 25-30 days with an adductor strain.  Reports initially said that the injury is a second degree strain, but according to Sky Sport Italia, the injury may be more serious than initially thought.  According to Sky reporter Alessando Alciato, Osvaldo might need at least a month to recover from the injury.

This puts Inter in a tight spot, as the squad was already thin regarding strikers available.  Mauro Icardi and Rodrigo Palacio are the only true first team attacking options, and hopefully Federico Bonazzoli and/or George Puscas will be ready to get some action.

The lack of strikers was something I feared as the season started.  So much so that I brought it up twice: here and here.

Internationals are upon us again, and here is a handy visual from Inter to keep track of who is playing where over the next few days:
