Key Italy Defender Heading Toward Call-up Vs Udinese – France FIFA World Cup Winner Targeting Return Vs Lazio | OneFootball

A report in the Italian press provides updates on the conditions of Inter Milan defenders Alessandro Bastoni and Benjamin Pavard.

At the moment, the Nerazzurri are having to operate with a depleted defense due to injury problems.

Nevertheless, Inter coach Simone Inzaghi will gradually recuperate the services of some of his most important players at the back.

According to FcInterNews, Bastoni almost spent the whole session training with his teammates on Thursday.

The 24-year-old is now aiming to practice with the rest of the group for the entire training session on Friday.

If he succeeds in his mission, the Atalanta youth product should earn a call-up for the weekend’s Serie A clash against Udinese.

The Nerazzurri are hosting the Zebrette at the Giuseppe Meazza on Saturday night. The Italian international will be hoping to join the squad and perhaps earn a second-half cameo.

This would pave the way for a return to the starting line-up in the following fixtures.

For his part, Pavard will still have to wait for at least another week for his much-anticipated return to action.

The Frenchman has been out with an injury since the Beaneamata’s clash against Atalanta in Bergamo last month.

The source believes the former Bayern Munich star has set his sights on a return against Lazio in the following weekend.

The Biancocelesti will be hosting their former manager Inzaghi and the Nerazzurri at the Olimpico Stadium on December 17th.

Pavard will be hoping to travel to the Italian capital alongside his teammates.

Finally, the Dutch duo of Denzel Dumfries and Stefan de Vrij are still undergoing therapy after sustaining recent knocks.
