Inter Milan face a significant concern ahead of the Supercoppa Italiana with Marcus Thuram a doubt for the derby against AC Milan. The latest indications from Riyadh about the Frenchman’s participation are not encouraging.
As the Nerazzurri prepare to face Sergio Conceiçao’s Rossoneri in the tournament’s final match, Simone Inzaghi anxiously awaits news on whether he can count on the French striker, who left the semi-final against Atalanta with an injury. Thuram played only one half before being substituted at halftime due to a slight strain in his left adductor muscle, prompting the coach and medical staff to make a precautionary change to avoid any risks.
To ensure clarity and minimize potential risks, Inter arranged for Thuram to undergo examinations at a medical facility in Riyadh today, accompanied by the club’s medical staff. This assessment aimed to determine the extent of the problem ahead of such a crucial and imminent fixture against Milan, considering both the immediate impact and future management of the former Borussia Mönchengladbach player’s recovery.
The results of Thuram’s tests arrived in the early afternoon: a slight elongation of the adductors in his left thigh was detected. While he will be re-evaluated tomorrow, his participation in the derby final remains highly doubtful.
Inter Milan officially communicated: “Marcus Thuram underwent instrumental examinations this afternoon in Riyadh. The tests revealed a slight elongation of the adductors in his left thigh. His situation will be evaluated again tomorrow.”
