Inter Milan defender Benjamin Pavard is at the center of a controversy after being spotted playing padel despite officially being sidelined with an ankle injury.
Sent home from the Club World Cup due to a recurring ankle issue, Pavard missed Inter’s match against Fluminense on Monday (0-2). However, a photo posted Thursday showing him on a padel court in Sardinia with Theo Hernandez has sparked outrage among fans and club executives.
A padel game that doesn’t go unnoticed
According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, Inter’s management is deeply frustrated and plans to summon Pavard for a serious discussion.
The incident comes at a tense time for the club and could further complicate the Frenchman’s future, even though he remains under contract until 2028.
With Inter already going through a rough patch, this new episode could push Pavard closer to the exit door.
