Thigh strain to bench Motta for a month – press

Inter Milan’s Brazilian midfielder Thiago Motta suffered a thigh strain during Sunday’s 2-1 win at Cagliari, his club said on Monday.

Motta came on as a second half substitute for Esteban Cambiasso during the game in Sardinia.

Inter Milan did not specify how much time he will be on the sidelines but Italian press speculate that with such an injury he could face up to a month out.

Motta signed for Inter in the summer from Genoa, alongside Diego Milito, the two-goal hero against Cagliari.
