Inter Milan's Champions League clash with Barcelona is a major blow as a key player is injured

Simone Inzaghi and his Inter Milan side will be forced to play the first leg of this season's Champions League semi-final against Barcelona without one of their key players.

With Benjamin Pavarad confirmed as the man who was decisive against Bayern Munich in the quarter-final, Inter will have to rely on other names in the backline.

Too many injuries at a critical time of the season

Inter Milan are suffering from a number of injuries at the most crucial and demanding time of the season, Benjamin Pavard has sprained his ankle and will miss both legs against Barcelona, forcing Inzaghi to rely on other names.

Benjamin Pavard has been an important player for Inter Milan all season at right-back in the 3-5-2 formation and has been effective in that position since Inzaghi's arrival, so the Italian coach will have to get used to another player in that position instead of the 2018 World Champion.
