Inter is preparing for the last summer friendly against Betis at the San Nicola in Bari, but among the absentees is Marcus Thuram. The Frenchman, who returned from vacation last Sunday, will not take part in the trip to Apulia.

As reported by Tuttosport, Thuram will stay at Appiano Gentile to follow a dedicated training program. The choice is linked to the desire to avoid possible relapses and to speed up the recovery of optimal physical condition.

The son of the former footballer is not injured, but the club has decided to take a cautious approach. The decision also takes into account the stoppage he suffered at the World Cup with France, where he played only one minute in the global competition.

It’s better to work hard at the sports center in Como than to be with the team without being able to take the field. The specific sessions should help the striker reach an acceptable form ahead of the start of the championship.
