One of the advantages for Cristian Chivu and for all Inter fans this season is the presence of a complete and numerous attacking department that allows for ample rotation. Compared to last season, there are now also some young but very valuable resources in the Nerazzurri squad, such as Bonny and Pio Esposito.

The presence in the squad of these forwards is very useful to avoid rushing Marcus Thuram back onto the field. In fact, as reported by today’s edition of La Gazzetta dello Sport, the injury to the French striker is more problematic than expected and not only will he not return on Saturday for the match in Naples, but he will also miss other games.

The hope for the Nerazzurri medical staff and for Chivu is to have Thuram back for the away match in Verona on November 2 or at the latest for the match on the 5th against Kairat at San Siro in the Champions League. This means that Inter’s number 9 will not be available tonight against Union, nor in Naples or at home against Fiorentina.
