Inter Milan’s preparations for the highly anticipated match against Juventus have been overshadowed by concerns over Marcus Thuram’s fitness. The French striker, who suffered an ankle sprain during the recent game against Fiorentina, has been the subject of intense speculation regarding his availability for the upcoming Derby d’Italia.
Despite initial worries, clinical examinations have ruled out any serious lesions. Thuram has been undergoing a tailored therapy program to alleviate pain in the affected area, coupled with personalized training sessions.
In a positive development, Thuram was observed running at a good pace during this morning’s individual training session, under the watchful eyes of Piero Volpi and his medical staff. The intensity of his workout, which included some sprints, has significantly boosted optimism within the Inter camp about his potential to start against Juventus in Turin.
If Thuram’s progress continues as expected, he is likely to rejoin full team training tomorrow. This news comes as a relief to Inter fans and coach Simone Inzaghi, who will be eager to field their strongest lineup for the crucial match.
Meanwhile, Marko Arnautovic, who also faced injury concerns, has already returned to group training. He was seen partnering with Joaquin Correa in attack during the session, providing Inzaghi with additional options up front.
