Inter Milan Star Reassures Italy Teammates Following Injury Scare In UEFA Nations League Clash Vs France | OneFootball

Inter Milan midfielder Davide Frattesi was enjoying a brilliant outing in Paris, but his evening ended on a concerning note.

The 24-year-old was in Luciano Spalletti’s starting lineup for the clash between France and Italy on the opening day of the UEFA Nations League.

Bradley Barcola pounced on a howler from Giovanni Di Lorenzo to score after just 12 seconds. This proved to be the fastest goal in Les Bleus’ history.

But while the hosts threatened to pull away as they pounded on Gianluigi Donnarumma’s goal, the Azzurri held firm, regained their composure, and slowly but surely, dominated the action.

Federico Dimarco produced the equalizer with a sensational volley, while Frattesi put the Italians in the lead after the break.

The former Sassuolo man almost grabbed a personal brace if it wasn’t for a brilliant save from Mike Maingnan.

However, Frattesi’s outing ended in the 61st minute. He made way for Destiny Udogie after picking up a knock.

His condition left Italy and Inter fans sweating, but the man himself made some reassuring gestures. Moreover, he left the pitch while walking unassisted.

According to Rai Sport via FcInterNews, the midfielder told his teammates he suffered from some physical discomfort. However, he admitted he felt a bit of a pull in his thigh.

The Roman will certainly undergo the required physical tests to detect the extent of his knock.

Inter fans will be hoping that results rule out any injuries so he could be available for the club’s upcoming fixtures after the international break.

Moreover, Italy will take on Israel in Budapest on Monday night. So it remains to be seen if the Nerazzurri star can pull off a speedy recovery and make an immediate return to the pitch.
