Inter Milan midfielder Kristjan Asllani continues to train separately, so his availability for Saturday’s clash against Genoa remains uncertain.
The Nerazzurri’s Serie A title defense begins with an away clash at the Luigi Ferraris Stadium.
Simone Inzaghi’s men will be hellbent on starting on the right foot against a side notorious for its stubborn approach at home.
However, the Italian champions are coming off a pre-season marred by injuries and late arrivals.
For instance, Piotr Zielinski and Stefan de Vrij will be unavailable due to muscular issues.
Moreover, Tajon Buchanan will be on the sidelines for several months after sustaining an injury while on international duty with Canada.
As for Asllani, he has been dealing with muscular fatigue over the past few days.
According to Sky Sport Italia via FcInterNews, the Albanian was on a personalized training program for the second day in a row.
Therefore, the 22-year-old’s availability for the Serie A opener remains uncertain for now.
The source believes tomorrow will be a decisive day in this regard.
Inzaghi will have to decide whether to include the former Empoli man in the traveling party or leave him in Milano.
The manager will likely make the final call after evaluating his condition during Friday’s training session.
But in any case, news reports don’t expect Asllani to be in the starting lineup.
The Albania international served as an understudy for Hakan Calhanoglu and Marcelo Brozovic over the past two seasons.
He will likely remain the club’s second-choice deep-lying playmaker this season as well. However, he’ll be hoping to build on last term’s progress so he can earn more playing time.
Asllani joined the Nerazzurri initially on loan from Empoli in 2022 before making his transfer permanent last summer. His contract with the club is valid until June 2027.
