Ghana international Kwadwo Asamoah ruled out of Inter's UCL clash against Dortmund

Published on: 05 November 2019

Ghanaian midfielder Kwadwo Asamoah has been ruled of Inter Milan's Uefa Champions League tie against Borussia Dortmund on Tuesday.

The 30-year-old failed to recover from an injury in time for the clash at Signal-Iduna Park, having missed Saturday's 2-1 Serie A win over Bologna.

"[Stefano] Sensi is back fit. He’s had three full training sessions back with the squad, we’ll see how and when to use him best," Inter coach Antonio Conte said in his pre-match team news, as reported by his club's official website.

"[Danilo] D'Ambrosio, Asamoah and [Roberto] Gagliardini are all unavailable."

The former Chelsea manager also opened up on their approach to the game.

"Anyone who expects a defensive game from us is mistaken," he said.

"We’ll show up to play the game we know, taking the game to the opposition.

"If we play on the back foot that will be down to Borussia Dortmund.

"Whether we’re home or away doesn’t affect our style of play, we know our strengths but we’re also aware of our weaknesses and we’re working to improve them."

The Ghanaian is likely to be available for selection when Inter host Hellas Verona in Serie A on Saturday before the international break.

Asamoah has featured in seven games so far in the top-flight this season.

He was left out of Ghana's squad for the 2021 Africa Cup of Nations (Afcon) qualifiers against South Africa and Sao Tome and Principe on November 14 and 18 respectively.
