A statement from Inter Milan 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.
