Inter Milan will continue to take no risks with Marcus Thuram, with the Frenchman set to be absent against Roma and Union Saint-Gilloise, with a potential return against Napoli next weekend.
Thuram’s recovery from a biceps femoris strain in his left leg remains under close supervision at Appiano Gentile.
The French forward will be absent for the trip to the Stadio Olimpico against Roma.
Therefore, he is targeting a return for next weekend’s crucial Serie A clash with Napoli.
As reported by Corriere dello Sport, ‘the utmost caution is being exercised, even if the hope – not the certainty – is to have Thuram at least among the squad for the trip to Naples next Saturday.’
Inter To Rest Thuram In Union Match Ahead Of Return Against Napoli
Coach Cristian Chivu and his medical staff are prioritising a full recovery to avoid any risk of relapse, particularly with a demanding run of fixtures on the horizon.
Thuram is expected to be left out of Tuesday’s Champions League encounter in Belgium against Union Saint-Gilloise.
This ensures he can rest completely before stepping up intensity in training later in the week.
The plan is to have the 27-year-old available for the top-of-the-table clash at the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona.
There, Inter will look to consolidate their title challenge.
After missing the last two matches, Thuram’s return would provide Chivu with a major boost.
Therefore restoring the famed “ThuLa” partnership that has been instrumental to Inter.
And what trophy did we win last year with the so called ThuLa partnership? The only reason we are number 1 on the table now is due to the the younger hungrier strikers we now have and we have to start planning for the future by giving more playing time to these younger players, we can’t be too fixated with the older players and don’t recognize that these younger strikers deserve our respect
