Inter Milan has suffered a significant blow to its defensive line as the club confirmed that Bastoni, one of their key players, is out for the season with an injury.

The news comes after Bastoni was forced off during Inter's latest Serie A fixture against Udinese on Sunday. The Italian defender was substituted late in the second half following an apparent ankle problem, and it was later revealed that he had sustained a serious injury.

Bastoni, who joined Inter from Juventus last summer, has been a key player for the club this season, playing a crucial role in their defense. He has made over 150 appearances for Inter so far, and his departure will undoubtedly be a major loss for the team.

With Bastoni out for the rest of the season, Inter will have to find a replacement quickly if they want to maintain their position in the top four of the league. The club will likely turn to younger players or loan signings to fill the void left by Bastoni, but it remains to be seen how successful these replacements will be.

Overall, the news of Bastoni's injury is a setback for Inter Milan, and it will be interesting to see how the club responds to this challenge. With the club still fighting for Champions League qualification, every point counts, and any setbacks will only make the task more difficult.
