Inter dealing with the injury of Tajon Buchananwith inevitable repercussions on the market. The Canadian winger yesterday underwent surgery on his right tibia, which he fractured in training with his national team, and everything went smoothly: a perfectly successful operation. Recovery times, however, remain long, because the 25-year-old footballer who arrived in January from Bruges will not be available again until November.
The Nerazzurri club must therefore evaluate what to do. At the moment there do not seem to be any market interventions planned to compensate for Buchanan’s absence: for example, the name of Marcos Alonso, who has just been released from Barcelona, seems far away. The solution, however, could be internal. According to what is reported The Sports Gazettethe Canadian’s replacement could be Charles Augustus.
The former Monza player, who arrived at Inter last summer, alternated with Dimarco on the left lane. At times, Inzaghi also had him play as a wingman in the three-man defense on that side. During the season that ended in May, he made 46 appearances in all competitions and scored 1 goal in these two roles. Above all, he has shown himself to be a reliable player, both starting from the start and coming on during the game to give Dimarco a break. He can therefore replace Buchanan, while he waits for him to recover from his serious injury (or for Inter to change their minds on the transfer market).
