Inter Milan midfielder Philippe Coutinho will be out of action for at least a month after suffering a stress fracture to his leg in the club\'s UEFA Europa League match on Thursday. The Brazilian playmaker was withdrawn in the first half of I Nerazzurri\'s 1-0 victory over Partizan Belgrade, with medical tests confirming the extent of the injury. A statement on the club\'s website said: \"Following a collision with (Milos) Ostojic in the 30th minute of yesterday\'s encounter, Philippe Coutinho underwent tests which revealed a stress fracture to his tibia.\" The 20-year-old, signed from Vasco da Gama in 2010, had been enjoying an extended run in the first team given the absence of injured Netherlands international Wesley Sneijder.
