Alexandro Bernabei’s journey from Celtic to Internacional has hit an early snag as the Argentinian defender missed his flight to South America, further delaying his debut for the Brazilian club.
The 23-year-old left-back was poised to begin a fresh chapter on loan at Internacional with hopes of making an immediate impact.

Compounding the disappointment, Bernabei is also not registered to participate in Internacional’s upcoming Gaucho state championship match against Juventude.
With the international break looming, this scheduling quirk means that Bernabei’s opportunity to don the Internacional jersey in a competitive setting will be postponed until next month.
Joining Internacional on loan until the end of the year, Bernabei was eager to reignite his career and demonstrate his abilities on a new stage. This setback certainly wasn’t the start he was hoping for.
