France Star Trained With Squad But Unlikely To Start In Juventus Vs Inter Milan Serie A Clash – Iran Captain The Favourite | OneFootball

Marcus Thuram is unlikely to start in tomorrow’s Serie A clash between Juventus and Inter Milan, with Mehdi Taremi.

This according to Italian broadcaster Sky Sport Italia, via FCInterNews. They also report that Francesco Acerbi is the favourite to start in defense.

The big injury subplot for Inter heading into tomorrow’s Derby d’Italia has concerned Marcus Thuram.

The Frenchman had to come off in the first half of last Monday’s Serie A clash with Fiorentina. This was due to a blow that he took to the ankle.

Thuram had tried to play on through the problem. However, he was unable to.

Thuram has not trained over the last few days. He has been easing back into training today, however.

Marcus Thuram Unlikely To Start Juventus Vs Inter Serie A Clash – Taremi Favourite

Thuram has only just returned to full training today.

Therefore, it will be tough for the France international to be in the starting eleven tomorrow.

It will be a decision that comes down to the wire. But as Inter coach Simone Inzaghi commented in a press conference today, it is looking likelier that Thuram will not start.

Therefore, the favourite to start would be Mehdi Taremi.

The Iranian international would therefore lead the line alongside Inter captain Lautaro Martinez.
