Inter Milan talisman Marcus Thuram is on the verge of recovery for Saturday’s mouth-watering Serie A clash against Napoli.

According to Gazzetta dello Sport via FCInterNews, the France international ‘no longer feels’ pain in his left ankle.

Manager Simone Inzaghi had to leave the 27-year-old out of his squad for last night’s Coppa Italia match against Lazio.

However, Marko Arnautovic shone in Thuram’s absence, netting a thunderous volley to open the scoring.

Furthermore, Hakan Calhanoglu converted a second-half penalty to seal Inter’s dominant 2-0 victory.

Marcus Thuram slumped to an ankle problem in a 2-1 home triumph against Fiorentina earlier this month.

Therefore, his availability for the upcoming showdown against Antonio Conte’s side was in doubt.

But he should rejoin the group in training tomorrow.

Indeed, Inter will complete three training sessions before departing for Stadio Diego Maradona.

Thuram will try to convince Inter’s medical staff to green-light his return to the pitch in that short timeframe.

Meanwhile, Yann Sommer and Carlos Augusto won’t be in contention for the team.
