Nicolo Barella, Inter Milan's midfielder, has returned to training after recovering from surgery during the international break.
Barella, an Inter and Italy midfielder, used the international break to have surgery on his nose.
The treatment was not intended to treat any type of sports injury.
Instead, the former Cagliari midfielder underwent surgery to address a problem with his nasal septum, allowing him to breathe more peacefully.
This followed an agreement between Inter and Italy medical personnel that the break was an ideal time for the operation.
And the Nerazzurri verified that the surgery was completely successful.
Barella underwent surgery right at the start of the international break.
The surgery that Barella underwent was fairly minor and non-invasive. Therefore, the recovery procedure has not been a long one.
However, naturally the midfielder has not been able to train with teammates for a few days, given the risk of contact that would cause problems for the healing.
Therefore, Nerazzurri coach Simone Inzaghi will have to think carefully about how to rotate his squad and manage the fitness of key players.
