Thanks to a superb performance by Ange-Yoan Bonny in his first start wearing the Inter shirt, the absence of Marcus Thuram was not felt in the last match. The 2003-born player, in addition to scoring his second goal in this league, also provided three assists, fully earning the title of man of the match against Cremonese last Saturday.
Bonny, just like Pio Esposito, will be called upon to work overtime for the next two official matches after the break. Thuram, who will stay at Appiano Gentile during the break to recover from his injury, will most likely also miss the two away games against Roma in the league and Union Saint-Gilloise in the Champions League.
The goal for Inter, according to Corriere della Sera, is to have him back for another important big match: “He has already missed the match against Cremonese and was not called up by Didier Deschamps for France’s games. Thuram is at risk of missing both Roma (October 18) and Union SG in the Champions League (October 21). He is aiming to return against Napoli (October 25).”
