Inter Milan Receives Positive News as Akanji Remains Injury-Free; Set to Return to Full Training
The Switzerland international has been a standout player for Inter this season.
Akanji joined the club from Manchester City on deadline day during the summer transfer window.
He arrived on a loan deal with an option to buy that turns into an obligation under certain conditions.
His availability is crucial, especially considering the defensive issues the team is currently facing.
Bastoni is still nursing an injury from the derby, and Mkhitaryan has been flagged as a minor concern following the Atalanta match. Losing any more players would have added to Chivu’s challenges.
Akanji’s clean bill of health brings some much-needed stability as the team gears up for a crucial week ahead.
