Big worries for Marko Arnautovic! The ÖFB star was injured in the 95th minute of Inter Milan's 1:0 away win against his former club Bologna on Saturday.

It was during Milan's final attack: Arnautovic dared to make one last sprint - but the Viennese had to stop it on the edge of the penalty area, immediately grabbed the back of his right thigh and fell to the ground with a contorted face. It was over, nothing more. Marko, who had come on for Marcus Thuram in the 66th minute, had to limp off the pitch just seconds before the final whistle. 

The exact extent of the injury was initially unclear. Initial speculation pointed to a torn muscle fiber. Bitter! Arnautovic had only just fought his way back from a pulled leg flexor muscle. Coach Inzaghi: "I'm sorry for Arnautovic, he felt a little bit. We hope to have him back soon." The EURO starts in four months.

Personnel worries ahead of the EURO
This means that ÖFB team boss Ralf Rangnick's personnel worries could become even greater just over three months before Austria's first match at the European Championship in Germany. Striker Sasa Kalajdzic is definitely out for the tournament due to a torn cruciate ligament, while captain David Alaba is also extremely doubtful due to a torn cruciate ligament.

The win against the fourth-placed team in the table, in which Stefan Posch played throughout, means that Inter, as Serie A leaders, are 18 points ahead of their first rivals Juventus Turin, at least for one day. Yann Bisseck scored the decisive goal with a header in the 37th minute. It was Inter's 13th competitive win in a row.

The Milan team will now face Atletico in Madrid on Wednesday for a place in the Champions League quarter-finals. The first leg of the round of 16 ended 1:0 for the Italians thanks to an Arnautovic goal.
