The condition of Marcus Thuram has been a major theme this week. The French striker, who left half an hour into Inter-Fiorentina due to a severe ankle injury, was in doubt until the last hours before Juventus-Inter, the big match of this evening for the 25th round of Serie A.
According to the latest updates reported by Calciomercato.com, the Frenchman’s latest tests have not provided the necessary guarantees to allow his participation from the first minute. Despite some thinking that Simone Inzaghi’s decision could simply be a tactical move, in reality, it hid a very different situation.
Thuram is not yet 100% and this evening against Juventus he will start from the bench. The pain has not completely disappeared, and for this reason, Mehdi Taremi will pair up with Lautaro Martinez from the first minute. We will see if he can help his teammates during the match, or if his condition will not allow him to play in the derby of Italy this evening.
Finally, as for the other big defense ballot, Francesco Acerbi is expected to start as the main defender at the expense of Stefan de Vrij. The defender had a huge performance against Moise Kean last Monday night and showed that he is finally doing well physically.
