Inter Milan directer Beppe Marotta says they won't seek to buy a replacement for the injured Alexis Sanchez.

The Nerazzurri have lost Sanchez for two to three months following ankle surgery, as he damaged tendons while on international duty for Chile.

“We designed the squad in a specific way and we would've been happier without Alexis Sanchez's injury, of course, but we are also optimistic and trust he'll be back within two months," Marotta told DAZN.

“After that, our forward line will remain unchanged. We have a competitive side in attack with different options.

“The January transfer window is open to clubs, even if the top players are rarely available to move during that period. It's our duty to be vigilant and see what opportunities the market offers."
