Marcus Thuram will miss the upcoming FIFA Club World Cup showdown between Inter Milan and Urawa Red Diamonds.
Per Sky Sport via FCInterNews, the French center-forward suffered a hamstring injury during last night’s draw against CF Monterrey.
As if losing Denzel Dumfries to a muscle problem before the game wasn’t troubling enough, Inter took another hit at the Rose Bowl.
Indeed, Marcus Thuram replaced Sebastiano Esposito midway through the second half, only to pick up a new injury.
Marcus Thuram Hands Inter Milan Fresh Injury Blow Ahead of Urawa Reds Clash
Thuram endured an injury-hit 2024/25 season, yet his fitness issues continue to haunt him in the post-season.
With Inter not taking Marko Arnautovic to the Club World Cup, Cristian Chivu could have a full-blown attacking crisis on his hands.
Indeed, Thuram’s absence would derail Inter’s already-depleted options in the final third.
For context, it would leave only the Esposito brothers as potential partners to Latuaro Martinez.
Meanwhile, Inter must beat Urawa on Saturday to increase their chances of progressing from Group E.
After a 1-1 draw against Monterrey, they must treat both remaining group fixtures as a ‘must-win.’
infant, every player needs minimum one month off since the sane set of posters is playing for last 2 years and almost every 4th day. This is too much.
a team like Inter needs a set of 22 starters, not 12-13.
Lauraro and company played too many matches, resulting in injuries and hence losing crucial points and in the end finishing the season without a trophy.
I hope the management learns something.
is demarco really a true wingback player? last season he was the weakest link in the team.
To be honest, Barca game aside, Thuram hasn’t looked himself in 2025…. he needs a good month or two rest, to get back to full fitness, and be of proper use to the team again…. Pio Esposito, here’s your chance to prove yourself!!
Agreed. Barella and Dimarco need a month off, too.
Exactly right!
