Nicolo Barella Sidelined with Thigh Injury

Inter Milan midfielder Nicolo Barella has been ruled out with a thigh injury. The Italy international will miss at least the next two games for Inter Milan. Barella's condition will be reassessed next week as he recovers from a strain in the rectus femoris of his right thigh.

Inter Milan's midfield dynamo, Nicolo Barella, has been sidelined due to a thigh injury, the Serie A club announced on Tuesday. The 27-year-old Italian international, who has featured in 175 league games for the club, is nursing a strain in the rectus femoris of his right thigh.

According to the club's statement, Barella will miss at least the next two games, with his condition set to be reassessed the following week. This development is a significant blow to Inter, who are positioned sixth in the standings with eight points from their first five matches.

Inter will face Udinese on Saturday and then host Red Star Belgrade in a critical Champions League game next Tuesday. The team's performance in these fixtures will likely feel the absence of their star midfielder.
