Benjamin Pavard Sidelined for 20 Days With Thigh Strain
FC Internazionale Milano have confirmed that defender Benjamin Pavard sustained an adductor muscle strain in his right leg following clinical assessments in Milan. Medical evaluations establish a projected recovery window of approximately 20 days for the French international.
Defensive Depth Stretched Amid Multiple Absences
The loss of Pavard severely compresses defensive rotation options for manager Cristian Chivu during a congested fixture period. The backline depth takes an immediate hit alongside a wider treatment room that currently houses John Stones, who has remained unavailable since September with a hamstring issue. Additional midfield and attacking complications arise from a thigh injury sidelining Curtis Jones and a hamstring problem affecting captain Lautaro Martinez following a 4-3 Champions League defeat against Club Brugge.

The 20-day timeline rules the defender out of upcoming domestic encounters against Bologna, Fiorentina, and Venezia. Squad planners must also prepare for his likely absence during the high-stakes Derby della Madonnina against AC Milan later in the month.
