Who plays in attack in Bergamo: Inter with Esposito certain and Thuram in doubt

After the match against Como, Inter found itself dealing with a series of bad news on the injury front. In quick succession, physical problems emerged for Bonny, Thuram, and Stankovic, adding to the already known absence of Lautaro. According to Corriere dello Sport, the most concerning situation is in the attack.

There is certainty regarding Esposito: the youngster is busy with the National Team and at Inter they hope he doesn’t pick up any more knocks. For the spot alongside him, however, they need to wait. Hopes regarding Thuram have not completely vanished, but the newspaper emphasizes that a lot of caution will be needed: whether it is simple fatigue or something more serious, Tikus’s body has paid the price for the efforts of recent weeks. Any potential stop would significantly complicate Chivu‘s plans.

Corriere dello Sport recalls how in the last derby the coach was forced to field only Thuram up front, with Esposito and Bonny not at their best — coming on ten minutes from the end — and everyone knows how that turned out.

In midfield, Stankovic’s situation is considered more manageable: the department is crowded and the return of Jones provides cover. However, there remains regret for the Serbian player, already penalized by limited playing time at this stage and now at risk of a forced stop.
