Good – and in some ways unexpected – news arrives for Cristian Chivu on the eve of the Coppa Italia final. Yesterday, news had circulated about a muscle problem suffered by Marcus Thuram, who was supposed to undergo tests today and who, in all likelihood, would have been forced to miss the final against Lazio. Surprisingly, however, the French striker trained with the team in this morning’s session, a sign that the muscle discomfort he experienced yesterday has been overcome, or at least was not as serious as initially thought.
At the moment, therefore, the situation seems to be this: Thuram will be available to the team at 9:00 PM tomorrow evening, but to know if he can start as a starter, we will have to wait a few more hours. If the physical feedback continues to be positive, Chivu can finally breathe a sigh of relief. At the same time, Bonny and Lautaro are ready, while Pio Esposito is training but has been dealing with back pain for a few days, which does not allow him to be at 100%.
