Inter have announced on their official website that Diego Forlan will not take part in the Coppa Italia match against Genoa on Wednesday due to a thigh injury.
The Uruguay international came on as an injury-time substitute in his side's 1-0 derby victory against AC Milan on Sunday.
However, after feeling persistent discomfort in his right thigh, Forlan underwent a scan on Wednesday, which revealed a strain of the rectus femoris muscle.
The 32-year-old striker has been plagued by injuries since joining Inter from Atletico Madrid in the summer, making just 11 competitive appearances to date for the Serie A side.
