Inter’s Mehdi Taremi Suffers Muscular Injury

Inter will be without new signing Mehdi Taremi for at least a couple of weeks following a muscular injury sustained during training.

The centre-forward, who joined on a free transfer from FC Porto this summer, had impressed in pre-season friendlies with five goals in three games.

Mehdi Taremi skipped training on Wednesday as a precaution, and tests revealed a muscular issue in the femoral bicep of his left thigh.

The situation will be re-evaluated next week, but initial reports suggest Mehdi Taremi will be sidelined for a minimum of two weeks.

This injury comes at a challenging time for Inter, as star striker Lautaro Martinez is still on vacation after winning the Copa America with Argentina, where he was top scorer and named Player of the Tournament.

The absence of both Mehdi Taremi and Lautaro Martinez will test Inter’s depth in the forward position as they play another pre-season game soon.
