Tonny Sanabria, signed by Internacional back in August, is in the final stages of recovery from another left calf injury. And man, the pressure is on: this dude hasn’t scored a goal in 26 games. His task is to become a real option for Internacional again as they fight through the final stretch of the Brasileirão, which is absolutely critical right now.
The Goal Drought Is Absolutely Brutal for Sanabria
This isn’t just a small slump for the 30-year-old Paraguayan striker. This is a full-blown crisis. Since joining Inter, he’s seen 179 minutes of action across six games, getting two starts, and here’s the kicker: zero shots on target. Think about that for a second. His last goal? You have to go all the way back to December 7 last year, when he was still playing for Cremonese, an Italian side. That’s a staggering 26 games without finding the back of the net. That kind of drought isn’t just tough on a player, it’s got to be weighing heavy on the whole squad, especially with what’s at stake.
Inter’s Season Hangs in the Balance as They Fight the Drop
This isn’t just a personal struggle for Sanabria, it directly impacts Internacional’s fight to stay in the league. They are currently sitting 16th with 38 points, right in the thick of the relegation battle. Every single point matters, and having a striker who hasn’t delivered a goal in months is a huge problem. Inter, with Sanabria potentially back in the mix, will return to action on the 19th. They’re heading to São Januário to face fellow relegation battlers Vasco, who are currently 13th. This is one of those must-win games, a six-pointer, where every single play could define their season. Can Sanabria finally break this insane drought and give his team the spark they desperately need? All eyes are on him.
