Luis Figo may have played his last game for Inter after scans revealed that he will be out for the rest of the season with a calf injury.
The Portuguese veteran is widely expected to quit the Nerazzurri at the end of a frustrating campaign that has seen him fall out with Coach Roberto Mancini and receive limited playing time.
The former Barcelona winger limped off during Inter’s Coppa Italia semi-final first leg against Lazio on Wednesday night and the club’s medics don’t expect his calf to heal before the end of the season.
At the age of 35, Figo must be considering hanging up his boots and his latest injury could bring the curtain down on his playing career.
The ageing talent came close to agreeing a move to Saudi Arabian side Al Ittihad and agreed a deal in January, but the transfer fell through.
Figo joined the Beneamata from Real Madrid in 2005 for a fee of around £6m and has since made 81 appearances.
