Inter Backup Keeper Raffaele Di Gennaro To Require Surgery On Hand Injury

Di Gennaro is Inter’s third-choice keeper.

The 31-year-old has held down this role since the start of last season. He arrived in the summer of 2023.

Di Gennaro signed for Inter from Serie B side Gubbio. He arrived as a replacement for Alex Cordaz to become Inter’s third-choice keeper.

Like Cordaz, Di Gennaro is a player who came through Inter’s youth academy system, but left in search of playing time.

However, Di Gennaro returned in 2023 to become the third-choice keeper for Inter.

The 31-year-old has yet to make an appearance for Inter since his return. However, he has provided an experienced presence behind the scenes and a sense of attachment to the club.

Di Gennaro has been backing up Yann Sommer and Josep Martinez this season.
