Samir Handanovic has not lost hope of playing in the Milan Derby on Sunday, as the Inter goalkeeper will try to train with a protective glove.
A statement from the club this morning confirmed a hairline fracture to the little finger on his left hand.
While reports suggest this should keep a goalkeeper out for three to four weeks, the Slovenian will try everything possible to continue playing.
According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, he will try training with a protective glove over the next few days to see if he is able to start.
It’s not just Milan that Handanovic risks missing, but also next week’s second-place showdown with Lazio.
There are then the Europa League matches against Ludogorets, building up to Juventus on March 1.
