Doubts over Dimarco's presence against Real Madrid

Inter have received reassuring news regarding their Italian winger Federico Dimarco, as tests revealed he suffered a minor sprain to his left knee during the match against SSC Napoli.

Federico Dimarco was forced off the pitch in the 62nd minute due to ongoing pain in his left knee, despite having performed well for nearly an hour of play. He assisted his team's first goal scored by Lautaro Martínez before Carlos Augusto replaced him.

According to Sky Sport Italia, Federico Dimarco returned for the second half with a double bandage on his knee, but the continued pain led the coaching staff to substitute him.

Inter's medical and coaching staff will determine Federico Dimarco's final status for the match against Real Madrid, scheduled for Tuesday, September 8, at the Santiago Bernabéu Stadium, as part of the opening round of the UEFA Champions League.

Federico Dimarco may travel with the Inter squad to Madrid, with coach Cristian Kivu set to make the final decision on his involvement, while ensuring that the player is not risked and that his injury does not worsen.
