Arnautovic’s Injury Concern: Inter Milan Striker Subbed Off After Scoring Winner

In a surprising turn of events during Inter Milan’s match against Fiorentina, Marko Arnautovic, who had come on as a substitute for the injured Marcus Thuram, found himself requesting to be taken off the field due to an adductor issue. This occurred despite Arnautovic having scored the decisive goal that secured Inter’s victory.

Arnautovic entered the game just before the 30-minute mark, replacing Thuram who had suffered an ankle contusion. The Austrian striker made an immediate impact, scoring a brilliant header in the 52nd minute to put Inter ahead. However, his joy was short-lived as he signaled to the bench for a substitution in the 76th minute.

Coach Simone Inzaghi responded by bringing on Taremi to replace Arnautovic for the remainder of the match. The substitution was necessitated by an adductor problem that has been troubling Arnautovic for some time. The extent of the injury and its potential impact on Arnautovic’s availability for the upcoming crucial match against Juventus remains uncertain.

Following the match, Arnautovic addressed his injury concerns, stating, “This is precisely why I don’t play as much. When I come on with limited warm-up time, there’s always a risk of minor issues. I felt some cramping, but I don’t think it’s anything serious. I hope to be available for the Juventus game.”

The medical staff at Inter Milan will be closely monitoring Arnautovic’s condition in the coming days to determine his fitness for the highly anticipated clash with Juventus.
