Major Injury Blow – Ex Bayern Munich Star To Miss Inter Milan Vs Barcelona Champions League Showdown | OneFootball

Defender Benjamin Pavard will miss tomorrow’s Champions League semifinal second leg between Inter Milan and Barcelona.

This according to Italian broadcaster Sky Sport Italia, via FCInterNews. They report that the 29-year-old is still feeling a problem with his ankle, and will not be a part of the squad.

Inter Milan defender Benjamin Pavard missed the first leg of his team’s Champions League semifinal tie against Barcelona.

The Frenchman suffered an ankle sprain during last weekend’s Serie A clash with Roma. Therefore, he was unable to feature against the Blaugranas.

Yann Bisseck started in place of Pavard in last Wednesday’s thrilling 3-3 draw.

Meanwhile, Pavard also missed out on yesterday’s Serie A win over Hellas Verona. That was hardly surprising.

However, the big question has been whether Pavard will be able to return for the second leg against Barcelona.
