Brazilian Star Man To Miss Inter Milan Vs Feyenoord Champions League Round Of 16 Clash | OneFootball

Forward Igor Paixao will miss tomorrow evening’s Champions League round of sixteen second leg between Inter Milan and Feyenoord.

The Dutch club have confirmed their squad list for the match, via FCInterNews. Meanwhile, defenders Gernot Trauner and Facundo Geertruida have returned from injury.

Feyenoord travel to the San Siro to take on Inter Milan tomorrow.

It will be the second leg of a Champions League round of sixteen tie.

And Feyenoord face an absolute mountain to climb in the match. They have a 2-0 deficit to overturn, with Inter having won the first leg in Rotterdam last week.

Moreover, the Nerazzurri will certainly be a very formidable opponent for the Eredivisie side.

And Feyenoord will have to cope without one of their star men.

24-year-old forward Igor Paixao has been a key figure for the Rotterdam this season. Particularly in the Champions League.

It was the Brazilian who scored the winner in the first leg of a round of sixteen playoff against AC Milan in Feyenoord.

Paixao also started in last week’s first leg against Inter.

However, the 24-year-old is not in the squad list for tomorrow’s match.

On the other hand, there are a couple boosts in defense.

Gernot Trauner, a stalwart of Feyenoord’s backline, is back from injury. As is Juventus-owned defender Facundo Gonzalez.
