Inter Milan head coach Simone Inzaghi, received encouraging news ahead of the upcoming match against Venezia, scheduled for Sunday. Both Marcus Thuram and Benjamin Pavard have returned to full training with the team, marking a significant boost for the Nerazzurri as they prepare for this important Serie A fixture.
Thuram and Pavard’s recoveries are particularly timely. Thuram had been sidelined since suffering an injury in the Supercoppa semifinal against Atalanta, missing only the derby against AC Milan. On the other hand, Pavard’s absence extended back to late November due to an injury sustained during a Champions League match against RB Leipzig. With both players now fit, Inzaghi can expand his tactical options in both attack and defense.
The return of these two key players is crucial as Inzaghi has faced challenges in fielding a consistent lineup due to injuries. Thuram’s attacking prowess and Pavard’s defensive skills will provide Inter with greater depth and flexibility. Inzaghi may choose to start them or introduce them during the match, depending on the game’s flow.
While Thuram and Pavard are back, not all players are fit for selection. Hakan Calhanoglu will definitely miss the match against Venezia, while Francesco Acerbi and Yann Bisseck have also been managing their own fitness concerns. Bisseck has been heavily relied upon in recent weeks but showed signs of fatigue after the Supercoppa final; however, he is expected to be available for selection.
