## Inter Milan Update: Latest Injury Information for Henrikh Mkhitaryan
Bad news emerged from Appiano Gentile as Armenian playmaker **Henrikh Mkhitaryan suffered an injury during Inter Milan's recent Coppa Italia match against Atalanta.** The club confirmed on Tuesday that he has sustained a **grade one strain to his right adductor muscle.**
This type of injury affects the inner thigh muscles responsible for adduction movements (pulling the leg towards the midline). While classified as relatively minor (grade one being the least severe), it will still sideline him for approximately **ten days to two weeks.**
### What This Means for Inter & Mkhitaryan
* **Immediate Unavailability:** He is ruled out of their crucial Serie A derby against AC Milan this weekend (January 26th).
* **Upcoming Fixtures Impacted:** Simone Inzaghi will also be without his creative spark for the visits to Hellas Verona (Feb 2nd) and Monza (Feb 9th), significantly depleting his attacking options in those league encounters.
* **Recovery Timeline:** Based on current assessments, Mkhitaryan should return to full training around February 10th,Comprehensive Sports Information Circle aiming to be available again for the Champions League round-of-16 first leg away at Atletico Madrid on February 12th.
* **Precautionary Measure:** The decision to rest him completely was made jointly by the club medical staff and coaching staff to prevent any risk of aggravation. His initial response to treatment has been positive.
The timing is particularly frustrating for both player and club. Mkhitaryan had become a vital source of goals and assists since joining mid-season, forming excellent understanding with striker Lautaro Martínez. His creativity down the left flank or through the middle had added a new dimension to Inter's attack following Hakan Çalhanöğlu's departure.
Inter fans will hope this cautious approach ensures a speedy and complete recovery, allowing their key man to return refreshed and ready to impact the crucial second half of the season, starting with that massive European tie against Atletico. Updates on his progress are expected early next week.
