Inter could be without Marcus Thuram for their delicious Serie A Showdown with Juventus, Simone Inzaghi has confirmed.
Thuram stumbled early after he had picked up a knock during the 2-1 victory of the Nerazzurri over Fiorentina on Monday and has not trained with the team since.
The French International is the top scorer of Inter in the Italian top flight this season with 13 goals, with only Mateo Retegui (20) and Moise Kean (15) more in the division.
But Inzaghi, who confirmed that Federico Dimarco and Denzel Dumfries are returning for the trip to the Allianz Stadium, admitted that the ruling champions can be forced to view alternative options in attack.
“Today we will have to evaluate Thuram, we will see if he can train with us,” he told reporters during his press conference before the competition. “He has not done it so far, he has worked separately.
“We all know the importance that Thuram has in our team. At the moment it is more no than yes. He is a generous guy, and he was available on Monday after a blow he received in Florence, but he lasted 25 minutes and lasted and lasted 25 minutes and Then asked for a change.
“The other strikers are doing well. [Joaquin] Correa is about a problem he had since Lecce, [Mehdi] Taremi is in order and [Marko] Arnautovic trained with us yesterday and did a good job after the problem against Fiorentina. “
Inter occupies second place in Serie A and is only one point behind leaders Napoli, who is facing Lazio on Saturday.
The Nerazzurri are unbeaten in their last five meetings with Juventus in Derby d'Italia, including an entertaining 4-4 draw in the inverted match of this season in October.
“We all know what Juve-Internal means and represents for our fans and our club,” said Inzaghi. “It is an important competition that enters the championship in a delicate time.
“We will have to play an excellent match against a team of quality, which has been strengthened by the winter market and has an excellent coach, which I respect a lot. They come from three victories in a row. We will have to play a very good game.”
