How does Carlos Augusto’s recovery affect Inter Milan’s tactical approach moving forward?
**Interview with Sports Analyst Marco Rossi on Carlos Augusto’s Recovery**
**Interviewer:** Thank you for joining us today, Marco. We’ve received some exciting news about Inter Milan’s wingback, Carlos Augusto. Can you share your thoughts on his recent injury recovery?
**Marco Rossi:** Absolutely! Carlos Augusto’s recovery is a significant boost for Inter Milan, especially during this crucial phase of the season. His ability to contribute both defensively and offensively makes him a vital part of the squad.
**Interviewer:** How has Augusto’s injury impacted the team so far this season?
**Marco Rossi:** His absence was felt, particularly in matches where width and pace on the flank were necessary. Inter has a strong squad, but Augusto’s unique skill set as a wingback—his speed and crossing ability—has been missed. Now that he is back, we can expect more dynamic play on the left side.
**Interviewer:** With the international break allowing him to recover, what do you think his immediate role will be upon returning to the pitch?
**Marco Rossi:** I foresee him returning to the starting lineup fairly quickly. The coaching staff will likely want to reintegrate him gradually, allowing him to build up match fitness while still having the chance to affect games significantly. I expect to see him involved in the next few matches, helping to drive our attacking plays.
**Interviewer:** That sounds promising. How important is his recovery for Inter’s aspirations this season?
**Marco Rossi:** It’s crucial. With key matches approaching, having a fit and ready Carlos Augusto can be the difference in tight games. He brings not just skill but also energy, which can uplift the entire team. Inter’s title ambitions are very much alive, and his recovery aligns perfectly with their critical fixtures ahead[[1](https://sempreinter.com/2024/11/18/report-inter-milan-wingback-carlos-augusto-regains-fitness/)].
**Interviewer:** Thank you, Marco, for your insights. We look forward to seeing Carlos back on the pitch!
**Marco Rossi:** Thank you! It’s always a pleasure to discuss the beautiful game, especially when there’s some good news for fans.
