The Italian Serie A football club Inter Milan has announced that they have received a positive update regarding the latest injury to their star player, Nicolò Barella.
Barella, who plays as a midfielder for Inter, was initially injured in a training session on Wednesday and has since undergone surgery at the hospital in Rome. The injury is expected to be a long-term one and he will need to undergo further treatment before his return to the field.
Inter president Giuseppe Conte praised Barella's resilience and commitment during this difficult time. "We all know how tough it can be when you're playing in Serie A, especially with injuries like Nicolò's,Serie A Stadium" he said. "But we're proud of him for coming through this ordeal and coming back stronger than ever."
Barella had been sidelined for several weeks after suffering a knee ligament tear in a match against Udinese last month. He had previously suffered from shin splints and ankle problems but had managed to recover quickly.
Inter also confirmed that they would not be making any changes to their squad ahead of next season, which is due to start in two months' time. They are hoping that the recovery process will allow them to compete in the top division again.
As the team gears up for the upcoming season, it remains to be seen whether Nicolò will be able to play in his usual role or if he will require additional support during his recovery period. But for now, the Italian national team captain continues to lead by example and inspire his teammates on the pitch.
