Newswire From a news agency Context piece
  • Inter Milan left-back Federico Dimarco will miss the team’s Champions League opener against Real Madrid because of a minor right-knee sprain.
  • Dimarco trained on Monday, but Inter left him out of the squad to avoid taking risks as he continues his recovery in Italy.
  • Carlos Augusto is expected to replace him at the Santiago Bernabéu.

Federico Dimarco will not travel with Inter Milan to Madrid for the Italian side’s Champions League opener against Real Madrid. The left wing-back suffered a minor sprain to his right knee during Saturday’s 3-2 win over Napoli.

Dimarco took part in Inter’s final training session at the club’s Appiano Gentile facility, but the team decided not to risk including him in the traveling squad. His condition has not worsened, and he will remain in Italy this week to continue his recovery, according to local media reports.

The absence is a setback for a player named Serie A’s best player last season. Dimarco was substituted in the 62nd minute against Napoli after providing the assist for Lautaro Martínez’s goal.

His omission opens the way for Carlos Augusto to take his place at the Santiago Bernabéu against Real Madrid, coached by Jose Mourinho.
