As has been known for several days, Simone Inzaghi will miss several key players for Inter’s return to league play against Udinese. The coach will be without Lautaro Martinez, Dumfries, and Ziekinski due to injury, while Bastoni will be unavailable due to suspension.

Consequently, Inter’s manager is faced with the challenge of choosing a partner to pair with Thuram for Sunday’s match set to kick off at 18:00. According to today’s edition of La Gazzetta dello Sport, the favorite to earn a starting spot is the only attacker who has had the chance to work closely alongside the French forward these past days—Correa.

The Argentine striker has already formed a pairing with Thuram on other occasions this season, showing a promising understanding. Notably last November, returning from an international break, Tucu was surprisingly introduced into the starting lineup alongside the French star against Verona, where he repaid Inzaghi’s trust with a goal and two assists.
