Inter's chances in the Champions League have been dealt a blow after it was reported that defender Lucio is a doubt for Tuesday's crunch last 16 encounter with Bayern Munich.
The Nerazzurri's official website revealed that the Brazilian picked up a muscle strain in last night's 1-1 draw with Brescia, and after tests on Saturday revealed the injury he went straight into physiotherapy.
It has not yet been confirmed by the club if Lucio will make the continental clash but it looks unlikely. Ivan Cordoba is one alternative to fill in at centre-back.
The Beneamata's Champions League chances took a big hit in the first leg, when Mario Gomez's 90th minute strike earned Bayern a 1-0 win in Italy.
Inter must win in Germany on Tuesday to have a chance of progressing through to the quarter-finals, and to thwart the Germans' hopes of gaining revenge for the final defeat of 2010.
