There were some reports in Argentina that Inter had over-played the extent of the injury to stop him making the journey.

“It’s all part of these situations. We must clarify that, despite not being a serious injury, Mauro would not have been available for this week, even if he had been playing for his club.

“On Tuesday we’ll evaluate whether to start doing partial training or wait a few more days, but I really think he’ll be on the pitch against Atalanta next weekend.”
