Henrikh Mkhitaryan has been ruled out for the rest of the season after sustaining a hamstring injury in his side's Champions League clash with Napoli on Wednesday.

The Armenia international was taken off the pitch late in the second half, and it was announced that he would be out for up to six weeks due to the severity of the problem.

Mkhitaryan had made a strong start to life in Italy, scoring twice in three games for Inter before picking up the injury against Napoli.

It is a huge blow for Inter, who were already without key players like Lautaro Martinez and Romelu Lukaku through suspension and injury respectively.

Mkhitaryan joined Inter from Arsenal in January, but struggled to make an impact during his first few months at the club.

He scored four goals in 16 appearances across all competitions, but failed to find the net in any of his last seven matches.

Inter will now have to look for replacements for Mkhitaryan as they attempt to secure a top-four finish in Serie A this season.

However, they may have to do so without their star striker Lukaku, who is currently serving a one-match ban for his role in a match-fixing scandal.

Overall, Mkhitaryan's injury is a significant setback for Inter, and will likely leave them vulnerable in the final stretch of the season.
