Mehdi Taremi is reportedly the leading candidate to replace Marcus Thuram in tomorrow’s clash between Feyenoord and Inter Milan.

According to Gazzetta dello Sport via FCInterNews, the French striker isn’t in the best physical condition.

Despite making the starting XI against Napoli, Marcus Thuram wasn’t at his best at the Maradona Stadium.

Indeed, his long-term ankle problem is still giving him trouble.

Therefore, Simone Inzaghi may bench the ex-Borussia Monchengladbach forward in Rotterdam.

With Thuram likely to drop out of Inzaghi’s line-up, Lautaro Martinez will partner up with someone else.

After netting a stunner in a 2-0 Coppa Italia win against Lazio, Marko Arnautovic should’ve been a rational choice.

However, Inzaghi has other plans.

Indeed, he’ll give Taremi the benefit of the doubt, even though the 32-year-old has been in awful form this season.

Except for a penalty against Red Star Belgrade, he failed to score in six other European appearances in the league phase.

In his defense, he made two assists.
