Inter: recovery times for all injured players and when they will return to action

At Inter, the start of the break is marked by one word: ‘treatment room’. Lautaro Martinez, Marcus Thuram, Ange-Yoan Bonny, John Stones, Curtis Jones and Aleksandar Stanković are all under Cristian Chivu’s watch. Lautaro, Stones and Jones are recovering from earlier injuries, while Thuram, Bonny and Stanković have just been injured.

At Inter, the international break begins with one phrase: 'treatment room'. Lautaro Martinez, Marcus Thuram, Ange-Yoan Bonny, John Stones, Curtis Jones and Aleksandar Stankovic are all under Cristian Chivu's watch. Lautaro, Stones and Jones are recovering from existing injuries. Thuram, Bonny and Stankovic have just picked up theirs.

LAUTARO

Out since 13 October, the night of the home defeat to Bruges, Lautaro Martinez has nearly recovered from a strain to the flexor muscles of his left thigh. Chivu could include the number 10 in the squad for the first match after the break, against Atalanta on 22 November.

THURAM

During Sunday's win over Como, Thuram felt discomfort in his right biceps femoris, forcing him to miss his national team's upcoming matches, including Thursday's game against Italy at the Meazza. He is unlikely to recover in time for 22 November or the Champions League match against Stuttgart on the 25th. A return to the squad for the match against Genoa on 28 November is more realistic.

BONNY

After suffering a strain to the flexor muscles of his right thigh, Bonny faces the same recovery timetable.

STANKOVIC

A longer wait lies ahead for Stankovic after he suffered a muscle injury. The Serbian will be out for about a month and could return for Inter v Torino on 13 December or Lecce v Inter on 18 December.

STONES AND JONES

Of the two Englishmen, Stones should be available again immediately after the break, on 22 November. The same applies to Jones, who has now almost completely recovered from the effects of the myofascial strain in the adductors of his right thigh that Inter announced on 8 October.
