Argentina & Austria Strikers Battle It Out For Starting Berth In Inter Milan Vs Udinese Serie A Game | OneFootball

Marko Arnautovic and Joaquin Correa are the candidates to replace Lautaro Martinez in Inter Milan’s home clash against Udinese.

According to Tuttosport via FCInterNews, the fringe duo must step up in the absence of the Nerazzurri captain.

Indeed, Lautaro Martinez is out with a muscle injury, leaving a gaping hole in Inter’s attack.

Marcus Thuram will be available despite his early return from international duty.

However, Mehdi Taremi may need to stay on the sidelines.

Taremi has struggled with fitness problems during the international break.

Indeed, he was on the bench for Iran in a 2-0 win against the United Arab Emirates.

Furthermore, he could skip today’s game against Uzbekistan.

Therefore, Inzaghi must turn to Arnautovic and Correa to fill the vacancy in the final third.

While the former netted some crucial goals this season, the latter has rarely had a chance to start.

On that basis, the Austrian veteran striker will more likely partner up with Thuram than the Argentine outcast.
