Inter manager Luciano Spalletti admitted that the Croatian international would not be available for the next game - away to Frosinone at the weekend - with the club releasing an update via their Twitter account.
The brief statement reports that the midfielder has sustained 'a muscular distraction at the semitendinosus of the right thigh' with his fitness set to be 're-evaluated next week'.
While there's no official confirmation regarding the timescale regarding Brozovic's injury, Italian media outlet Sport Mediaset are reporting that he's set to miss crucial games against Roma and Juventus in the coming weeks, as Inter look to secure a place in next season's Champions League.
Inter are currently third in Serie A on 57 points, five points more than city rivals Milan in fourth and Atalanta in fifth, with Brozovic a key player in the club's push for a top-four finish in the centre of the park.
