The Belgian was injured during Sunday's Milan derby

Inter midfielder Radja Nainggolan was injured in Sunday's 1-0 win in the Milan derby and will miss the Champions League game against Barcelona on Wednesday. 

"He's doing badly," coach Luciano Spalletti confirmed on Sky Sport. "He will have to go to hospital to see (the extent of the injury). He won't just miss the game against Barcelona, he will be out for a period of time." 

Nainggolan injured his ankle in the 20th minute of the game after clashing with Milan's Lucas Biglia. He remained on the floor for several minutes receiving treatment. 

The Belgian international, signed from Roma this summer for 38 million euros, tried to play on but was eventually forced off 10 minutes later, replaced by Borja Valero.

Inter went on to win the game 1-0, with talisman Mauro Icardi's 92nd minute clinching the three points in the Milan derby.
