Report – Venezia Confirm Tendon Injury To Inter Milan Loanee | OneFootball

Inter Milan loanee Filip Stankovic underwent further checks after sustaining an injury in Saturday’s match between Venezia and Udinese.

Venezia issued an official statement on the club’s website, confirming the 22-year-old’s tendon problem.

A partial rupture of the left patellar tendon forced Filip Stankovic off in the 18th minute during Venezia’s away loss at Udinese last weekend.

Jesse Joronen, who took his place in the first half, conceded three times after the break in a goal-glutted 3-2 defeat in Udine.

Furthermore, Stankovic could face a lengthy spell on the sidelines.

That’s awful news for Eusebio Fi Francesco, considering the young gun has been remarkable this season.

Stankovic’s injury could significantly derail Venezia’s chances of avoiding relegation from Serie A.

Therefore, the club had to intervene in the market.

Indeed, Andrei Radu ended his miserable stint at Inter today in order to join the Lariani on a short-term contract.

Radu could be Di Francesco’s first choice between the sticks until Stankovic recovers from injury.

Meanwhile, Venezia remain firmly embroiled in Serie A’s relegation scrap, lagging five points behind 17th-placed Cagliari.
