Kovacic injury scare for Inter

By Football Italia staff

Worrying news for Inter, as Mateo Kovacic limped off with a groin problem during Croatia’s game against Azerbaijan.

The 20-year-old midfielder lasted less than half an hour in tonight’s Euro 2016 qualifier.

Kovacic hobbled off the field 24 minutes into the match and initial reports suggest a groin or upper thigh problem.

More tests will be needed to ascertain the extent of the damage.

It is a concern for Inter, as they go into a crucial Serie A clash with Napoli this weekend.
