Inter Milan striker Marko Arnautovic will get yet another chance to shine this Friday against Genoa as Lautaro Martinez remains unavailable.
The Nerazzurri captain sustained an injury during last week’s Coppa Italia defeat against Bologna. Test results later revealed a muscle strain.
Therefore, Simone Inzaghi resorted to the attacking partnership of Arnautovic and Marcus Thuram last weekend against Lecce.
While neither man was on target, the Nerazzurri emerged victorious with two unanswered goals. Yann Bisseck and Nicolo Barella provided the goals.
According to Il Corriere dello Sport via FcInterNews, Arnautovic and Turam will maintain their spots in the starting line-up for the next fixture.
The Beneamata travel to Liguria for a meeting against Genoa at the Luigi Ferraris Stadium.
The source believes this could be the Austrian veteran’s final chance to prove his worth as a starter before Lautaro’s return from injury.
Marko Arnautovic To Fill In For Lautaro Martinez In Inter Milan’s Clash Vs Genoa
The Roman newspaper expects the Inter captain to make his return to action against Hellas Verona next weekend. This will be the club’s maiden fixture in the year.
Martinez is currently leading the Serie A scoring charts with 15 goals from 16 appearances. Since the start of the season, he has formed a deadly partnership with Thuram.
On the other hand, Arnautovic has been lurking on the outside, waiting for an opportunity to prove his worth.
The former West Ham bomber has yet to score a goal in Serie A this season, but has provided two assists in his 11 appearances.
His only strike this campaign came in the Champions League encounter against Benfica.
