Carlos Augusto is at risk against Atletico Madrid, but the biggest Inter concern is for Marko Arnautovic, who could be out for some time.
The Nerazzurri continued their remarkable run of winning all 13 competitive matches in 2024 thanks to a 1-0 Serie A victory away to Bologna, sealed by the Yann Bisseck diving header.
However, there was some bad news for Simone Inzaghi too, as Carlos Augusto went off at half-time with a slight calf twinge.
The biggest concerns are for Arnautovic, who was a substitute at the 66th minute for Marcus Thuram, only to pull up clutching the back of his right thigh in stoppages.
The Austria international had to be carried off the field by medical staff and the odds of him returning for Wednesday’s Champions League Round of 16 against Atletico Madrid are extraordinarily slim.
According to Sky Sport Italia, there are fears of damage to the adductor or the hamstring, which would mean several weeks out of action.
It is the right thigh, the same leg where he pulled up with a torn hamstring against Empoli in late September.
Arnautovic scored the only goal in that Champions League tie, giving Inter the 1-0 lead from the first leg.
