Inter confirm knee injury for Medel

Gary Medel looks set for a spell on the sidelines after Inter confirmed on Tuesday the midfielder had suffered a knee injury during the Milan derby.

The Chile international returned from suspension to start the 2-2 draw at San Siro on Sunday, but had to be replaced shortly before half-time.

He seems certain to miss Thursday's trip to Haopel Be'er Sheva in the Europa League, where a defeat would see Inter eliminated from the competition.

Medel could also be absent for the upcoming Serie A fixtures against Fiorentina and Napoli, two sides battling with Stefano Pioli's men for the European places.
