Thuram dries the Blues, but not the inter: the timing that makes tick

This Sunday, the French team will try to reverse Croatia in the semi-final return from the League of Nations, after a 2-0 defeat Thursday in Split. In this tense context, the absence of Marcus Thuram could well weigh heavy. The Inter Milan striker had been forced to forfeit before the start of the rally, due to an ankle discomfort. A precautionary decision, in accordance with the medical staff of the Blues and that of Inter.

Thuram package then operational: the Blues dismissed, the Inter Ser

But on the eve of this crucial match, a detail challenges: Thuram has already resumed training with Inter, on the side of Appiano Gentile. Timing necessarily raises questions on the French side. Could it have been available for this return match? Nothing allows you to assert it with certainty, but one thing is certain: the qualities of the player lack the Blues at a key moment.

A central role in Milan

While the Blues are preparing, Marcus Thuram is already planning the end of the season with Inter. And for good reason: he carries out his best club campaign. With 13 goals in Serie A (16 all competitions combined) and 4 assists, the Frenchman has established himself as one of the most decisive players in the workforce. He was involved in 20 goals this season, a remarkable figure while he is carrying out his second campaign in Serie A.

With Lautaro, who is expected to land late from South America, it is Thuram who will hold the keys to the internist attack in the coming weeks.

The final sprint begins

The Inter tackles a breathtaking end of the season: 9 days of the championship, a semi-final of the Italian Cup, and a quarter of the Champions League. In the event of a perfect course, up to 17 games could wait thuram by the end of May. The Frenchman will therefore have plenty of time to continue on his momentum … and to recall why his absence among the Blues does not go unnoticed.
