Injured in a knee on November 4, Benjamin Pavard is already on his way back and could resume competition with Inter Milan next week.
Leader of Serie A with two points ahead of Juventus, after a great 3-0 victory in Naples on Sunday evening, Inter Milan is however deprived of its defenders Benjamin Pavard and Alessandro Bastoni. Simone Inzaghi also lost Stefan de Vrij and Denzel Dumfries for the next three weeks with muscle injuries.
Good news: Pavard has accelerated his physical recovery, as reported by La Gazzetta on Tuesday. The French international, victim of a nasty dislocation of the patella of his left knee on November 4, could resume next week against Lazio.
The 27-year-old defender, who has adapted perfectly to the Nerazzurri as a right center in a three-man defense, has missed three Serie A matches and two Champions League matches (in addition to the last two matches of the Blues in the Euro 2024 qualifiers).
Uncompromising in the championship, with their late duo Lautaro Martinez-Marcus Thuram, the Interists are also qualified for the round of 16 of the C1. However, they must beat Real Sociedad next Tuesday at Meazza to finish first.
