Tajon Buchanan is targeting his first minutes of the season for Inter Milan against Venezia, while Kristjan Asllani should be back against Arsenal or Napoli.

This is evident from today’s print edition of Milanese newspaper Gazzetta dello Sport, via FCInterNews. They report on the duo’s reintroduction to the field after returning from injury.

Inter has been struggling with a number of injury problems in recent weeks.

The most notable players were midfielder Hakan Calhanoglu and defender Francesco Acerbi.

Then wingback Carlos Augusto picked up a thigh problem during Inter’s Champions League win over Young Boys.

However, these were not the only players who dropped out.

Wingback Tajon Buchanan is fit again.

It was hardly noticeable that the Canadian was on the injury list. He has been out for the entire season so far, recovering from a broken leg suffered over the summer.

And Kristjan Asllani is nominally fit. But Inter coach Simone Inzaghi has decided not to risk minutes for the Albanian international, who is recovering from a knee injury.

In Buchanan’s case, the 25-year-old has been getting closer to a return for a few weeks now.

Buchanan was even in the matchday selection against Empoli on Wednesday.

This came after Buchanan made a long-awaited return to training.

However, the Canadian international did not play for a minute against Empoli.

However, that could change tonight during the Serie A match against Venezia. Inzaghi is ready to hand Buchanan his first appearance of the season as the former Club Brugge man gets back up to speed.

Meanwhile, midfielder Asllani will miss tonight’s match.

Especially now that Hakan Calhanoglu is back, there is little reason to take risks with the 22-year-old’s fitness.

But according to the Gazzetta, Asllani should be ready to feature against Arsenal in the Champions League or Napoli in the Series in the coming week.
