Inter have confirmed that defender Matteo Darmian sustained a muscular problem to his left leg and will miss the upcoming matches.

The versatile player is coming up to his 36^th birthday in December, but has already made two appearances this season, along with the FIFA Club World Cup games over the summer.

Darmian out for at least 10 days

A statement from the Nerazzurri medical staff announced that he was diagnosed with a strain of the soleus muscle in his left leg.

He played in Inter’s friendly with Atletico Madrid in Libya.

His condition will be re-evaluated next week, meaning they expect him to be out of action for at least a couple of weeks.

That rules Darmian out of the Inter squad for Saturday’s Serie A trip to Roma and the Champions League encounter with Union Saint-Gilloise.

He should also not be ready in time for the Scudetto showdown with reigning champions Napoli on October 25.

Inter coach Cristian Chivu is also waiting on a recovery time for striker Marcus Thuram, who picked up a problem ahead of international duty with France.
