Benjamin Pavard is targeting a return from injury in next weekend’s Serie A clash between Inter Milan and Lazio.

This according to today’s print edition of Turin-based newspaper Tuttosport, via FCInterNews.

Inter Milan defender Benjamin Pavard has been out for a couple matches now.

Pavard had started that match. However, after picking up his injury during a challenge, he had to come off early in the first half.

Benjamin Pavard had initially tried to rush back to fitness for the second leg of Inter’s Champions League semifinal tie against Barcelona.

There had initially even been some reports that the France international could start the match.

However, Pavard’s ankle sprain flared up during training in the day before the match.

Therefore, Pavard had to sit out Tuesday’s dramatic 4-3 second leg victory.

Moreover, the Frenchman will not be back for Inter’s next match. They travel to Turin to take on Torino tomorrow.

And Pavard will be out of the squad as he continues to recover.

However, reports Tuttosport, a return is not too far on the horizon for Pavard. The newspaper anticipate that he should be back for next weekend’s Serie A clash with Lazio.
