Inter will be on Tuesday evening without one of their most important players against Barcelona, after Benjamin Pavard was finally out of their Champions League semi-final second stage. The French defender arose an injury in the week before the first stage, but was not recovered on time.
Pavard, who missed the first stage with a muscle injury, hoped to be back in the battle at the Giuseppe Meazza, but in the training session of Inter on Monday afternoon, renewed pain in his ankle felt, Sky Sport Italia (via football Italia). He is definitively excluded from the Barcelona match.
In all likelihood, he will be replaced by Yann Aurel Bisseck, who played in his place in the first stage and did reasonably well. Bisseck was the only player who started in Montjuic to play from the start against Hellas Verona during the weekend and came after 69 minutes.
Lautaro Martinez was removed early in the first leg with a flexor problem and was a great doubt to recover on time. However, the mood for his fitness is positive, and after completing the training session without problems, the game will start in the front of Milan in addition to Marcus Thuram in the front. Midfielder Davide Frattesi did not train on Monday with a knock, but is expected to make the bank on Tuesday.
Barcelona removed uncertainty about their injury problems on Monday. Jules Kounde is already out of the question and Alejandro Balde was omitted from the team for the trip to Italy. In the meantime, Hansi Flick stated in his press conference that Robert Lewandowski was suitable for playing, but would start on the couch.
