At home Inter we hope for a couple of things. The first: that Marcus Thuram does not necessarily have to skip commitments with France. The second: skip them anyway. Translated into other words: having emerged in pain from the match against Torino, the French striker will receive a response regarding his conditions in the next few hours. The fact that he played for almost an hour with the pain, in itself, is neither good nor bad news: it could indicate that it was nothing special, or that by playing through it he made the situation worse.
The framework, essentially, is awaiting updates. Whatever they are, at Appiano Gentile we look not only at the mere data, but also at the decisions of Didier Deschamps. In fact, Thuram will still have to reach France, at which point the FFF doctors and the transalpine coach will decide whether to keep him or send him back to Italy. It goes without saying how much a conservative choice would be nice: after all, albeit for different reasons, both Conte and Motta will be able to continue working with Lukaku and Vlahovic during the break. Inzaghi wouldn’t mind.
Speaking of Juventus and Napoli, they are two of the opponents that Inter will face in the short cycle that will open after the break. First, the match against Roma. Then, in fact, the Bianconeri and finally the Azzurri: in the middle, Empoli and Venezia in the championship, in addition to commitments in the Champions League with Young Boys and Arsenal. Between rhythms and opponents, a series of very dangerous intersections: better to face them with Tikus. As well as two “new” faces: Inzaghi expects that, upon resumption, Nicolò Barella be skilled and enlistable. It should also fit Tajon Buchanan: not exactly a very successful one, but an extra solution never hurt.
