MILAN, Oct 24 ― Inter Milan defender Achraf Hakimi today said he was ready to return to action after two negative tests for coronavirus.
“I’m back,” Hakimi wrote on Twitter.
The Moroccan international missed Inter Milan’s Champions League 2-2 draw against Borussia Moenchengladbach in midweek after testing positive hours before kick-off.
The 21-year-old, who was asymptomatic, yesterday returned a first negative test and had a second test immediately after, Inter Milan said.
Antonio Conte’s side are hopeful he will be authorised to join his teammates for today’s Serie A match at Genoa.
Inter Milan are sixth in the table, five points behind leaders AC Milan, who won last weekend’s derby 2-1.
