There are still five days left until the eagerly anticipated Italian derby between Juventus-Inter, yet there are plenty of reasons at Appiano Gentile to approach the match with some extra concern. In particular, Simone Inzaghi risks heading into the match against the Bianconeri severely depleted and without two fundamental starters in his lineup.
We are talking about Marcus Thuram and Federico Dimarco, both doubtful for different reasons. The French striker was forced to throw in the towel last night during the first half of Inter-Fiorentina. Already nursing an injury, he was indeed replaced by Marko Arnautovic due to a severe contusion on his left ankle that hindered his ability to run fluidly.
His condition will be assessed over the coming days, during which Inzaghi will do everything he can to ensure his recovery. A similar situation for Dimarco, who has been out for over five days with a fever that doesn’t seem to be going away. In this case too, the hope is that he recovers from the flu as soon as possible, and most importantly, that the player can regain a suitable fitness level to be able to face Juventus.
Marko Arnautovic’s minor fatigue reported last night also needs to be evaluated, especially after his decisive goal last night against Fiorentina.
