If on the Mkhitaryan front bad news is expected from the instrumental tests scheduled for today, at least the latest updates on the Marcus Thuram front could bring a slight smile to Cristian Chivu. The French striker, for the first time since the injury suffered against Slavia Prague, actually resumed working on the pitch yesterday.
As explained by La Gazzetta dello Sport, for the next few days the Inter staff has scheduled a gradual increase in training loads for Thuram with the aim of having him rejoin the group starting from Thursday, therefore only after Wednesday’s match against Fiorentina.
If Tikus manages to complete two full training sessions, then he could get the green light to be on the bench against Verona on Sunday, November 2. Otherwise, Chivu will have to wait for the fourth matchday of the Champions League on November 5 against Kairat at San Siro to welcome the striker back among the Nerazzurri’s called-up players.
