Henrikh Mkhitaryan continues to age like fine wine
It hasn’t been all blue skies over San Siro for Henrikh Mkhitaryan this season. After making 30 starts in 32 appearances in the 2024-25 Serie A season, the 37-year-old Armenian midfielder made seven starts in 12 appearances in the 2025-26 season for the Nerazzurri. It’s fair to say, a hamstring injury in late October 2025 was not in the cards for Armenia’s most decorated player, but his recent performance showed that the mighty maestro still has a few more world-class years left in him.
Mkhitaryan marked his return to Inter’s starting lineup on Jan. 7, 2026 in a commanding 2-0 Serie A victory over Parma. He last started for Inter on Oct. 25, 2025 versus Napoli — in the same game, he suffered his thigh problem.
