Inter Milan Goalkeeper Yann Sommer Suffers Ankle Injury During Friendly Match
Inter Milan goalkeeper Yann Sommer encountered a setback during a friendly match between Switzerland and Denmark, where he sustained an ankle injury that forced him off the pitch in the first half.
Sommer, a pivotal figure for the Swiss national team, was gearing up for the upcoming Euros this summer, set to assume his role as the first-choice goalkeeper provided he recovers in time.
Aged 35, Sommer has been a stalwart in the Swiss setup for years, notably playing a significant part in their victory over France in the previous Euros.
During the recent friendly game against Denmark, Sommer’s right ankle suffered a twist following an awkward movement, leading to his distress on the field.
Despite attempts to continue playing, Sommer eventually had to be substituted off in the 37th minute, with Lorient goalkeeper Yvon Mvogo taking his place.
It now remains uncertain whether Sommer will swiftly return to action for Inter Milan, who are set to face Empoli in Serie A following the international break.
Despite their substantial lead in Serie A, the Nerazzurri will aim to maintain their momentum and secure the title as soon as possible, making Sommer’s recovery timeline crucial for the team’s success.
