Official – Inter Milan New Signing Suffers Muscle Strain | OneFootball

Inter Milan striker Mehdi Taremi has sustained an injury as revealed by an official statement released by the club on Thursday.

The 32-year-old is the club’s newest signing having completed a free transfer last month. The attacker saw out his contract with Porto before making the switch to San Siro.

The Iranian has presented himself in great shape since the start of the club’s pre-season. He has been Simone Inzaghi’s standout performer in the friendly tests, scoring on every occasion.

Many sources were even beginning to tip the striker to start in the Serie A opener against Genoa on August 17th. After all, Lautaro Martinez and Marcus Thuram are late arrivals for pre-season, which gives the new signing a vital advantage.

But sadly for Taremi, he has just sustained a blow that could rule him out of action.

The club has just released an official note explaining that the Iran international has undergone an MRI scan after suffering a knock.

The medical tests detected a muscle strain on the left thigh. The player’s condition will be reevaluated next week.

“Mehdi Taremi underwent an MRI scan this morning at the Humanitas Clinical Institute in Rozzano,” reads the statement published on the club’s official website.

“The tests revealed a strain on the biceps femoris of his left thigh. His situation will be reassessed next week.”

Hence, Inzaghi and the club as a whole will be hoping that next week’s tests offer reassuring results.



A long absence would be a significant blow for the Nerazzurri. That’s because Martinez and Thuram might not be in optimal physical condition for the first official kickoff.
