Inter midfielder Fredy Guarin says it was instantly obvious that Diego Milito’s injury was something serious.

The Argentine striker is set for a long spell on the sidelines after he damaged knee ligaments just six minutes into the 2-0 win over Cluj on Thursday.

Andrea Stramaccioni was pleased with Inter’s performance to beat Cluj 2-0, but his thoughts were dominated by Diego Milito’s injury.

The season is over for Diego Milito and he could be out of action for up to nine months after suffering a serious knee injury.

The Inter striker fell awkwardly with his studs caught in the turf just seven minutes into tonight’s 2-0 Europa League win over CFR Cluj.

Diego Milito says he has no intention of returning to his homeland at the end of the season. “I want to stay at Inter.”

The Argentine returned to action last night after a spell on the sidelines to score in the 3-1 win over Chievo Verona.

“I love it here at Inter and I intend stay until my contract expires in 2014,” he stated when asked about his future.

Diego Milito, Dejan Stankovic and Esteban Cambiasso are back in the Inter squad to take on Chievo tomorrow night.

Antonio Cassano has joined Diego Milito, Philippe Coutinho, Ricky Alvarez and more on the absentee list for tomorrow’s trip to Roma.

There are fears Antonio Cassano and Diego Milito will miss out on Inter’s trip to Roma this weekend.

Cassano picked up a thigh injury during the 3-2 Coppa Italia extra time victory over Bologna on Tuesday evening.

Left on the bench tonight against Pescara, there are shock reports that Arsenal are preparing an offer for Inter striker Diego Milito.

According to the British media, the 33-year-old Argentine has caught the eye of Arsene Wenger.

Inter captain Javier Zanetti has claimed that teammate Ricky Alvarez is keen to stay at the club despite rumours he is to be sold in January.

Diego Milito is confident Inter and Napoli “will battle to the end of the season” despite tonight’s 2-1 victory.

The Nerazzurri earned the 2-1 win at San Siro, leapfrogging the Partenopei into second place.
