Inter Milan star Marcus Thuram will be unavailable for Friday’s friendly match against Atletico Madrid in Benghazi, Libya.
According to Corriere dello Sport via FCInterNews, the French striker continues to work alone as he aims to recover from a thigh problem.
Marcus Thuram slumped to a thigh injury during Inter’s 3-0 home win over Slavia Prague in the Champions League.
As a result, he had to watch his side’s 4-1 rout of Cremonese from the stands.
Marcus Thuram to Miss Inter Milan vs Atletico Madrid Friendly
In addition to missing Inter’s last Serie A outing, Thuram has had to stay at Appiano Gentile during the international break.
Indeed, France gaffer Didier Deschamps has omitted him from his squad for the upcoming FIFA World Cup qualifiers.
Meanwhile, the 28-year-old is working tirelessly to regain full fitness.
However, Cristian Chivu will not have the ex-Borussia Monchengladbach striker at his disposal on Friday.
Therefore, Inter will take on Atletico Madrid without Thuram.
With the French ace absent, Ange-Yoan Bonny will probably lead the line in Benghazi.
It’s actually beneficial. Chivu needs to be careful wit Thuram’s fitness. We have 4 strikers and should rotate them as much as we can to avoid burnouts and injuries.
