Underperforming Inter Milan striker Marcus Thuram is likely to lead the line in the upcoming Serie A showdown against Roma.
According to Corriere dello Sport via FCInterNews, this could be an ideal opportunity for the Frenchman to return to the scoresheet.
Marcus Thuram has been a shadow of his former self this term.
With just seven goals from 23 Serie A appearances, the 28-year-old has largely struggled for impact in his third season at San Siro.
Furthermore, he has failed to shine in the absence of his attacking partner, Lautaro Martinez.
Indeed, the French center-forward is on a five-game scoreless run in Serie A.
Inter Milan Star Marcus Thuram Relishes Upcoming Roma Clash
Thuram’s last league goal came in a 5-0 rout of Sassuolo at the start of February.
Moreover, he has since failed to find the net in five consecutive Serie A games despite starting on each occasion.
However, Sunday’s clash against Roma could be a presentable opportunity for the former Borussia Monchengladbach ace to end his drought.
Indeed, Thuram has netted three goals in five matches against the Giallorossi.
Additionally, he scored in France’s 3-1 friendly win over Colombia last weekend, recovering some confidence ahead of this high-stakes fixture.
