Report – Inter Milan Handed Double Fitness Boost As France & Albania Internationals Avoid Long-Term Injuries | OneFootball

Inter Milan must have felt a sense of relief as Marcus Thuram and Kristjan Asllani haven’t succumbed to long-term injuries.

According to Gazzetta dello Sport, as reported by FCInterNews, both players have got away with minor fitness problems.

Therefore, both should be available to feature for Inter in the next Serie A match against Roma.

Earlier reports suggested Kristjan Asllani could be out with a muscle injury after skipping Albania’s training session yesterday.

However, the 22-year-old midfielder should return to the fold as early as tomorrow morning.

As for Thuram, he fell victim to Guillermo Maripan’s brutal tackle in Inter’s 3-2 league triumph against Torino last weekend.

The Chilean defender mistimed his challenge and caught the Frenchman’s ankle, causing unrest among the Inter medical staff.

Luckily for Simone Inzaghi, further scans showed no ligament damage, allowing the 27-year-old to join the France national team.

With Kylian Mbappe omitted from Didier Deschamps’ squad for October’s call-up, it’s Thuram’s time to shine on the international level.

Thuram reportedly underwent physiotherapy on Tuesday as Deschamps hopes to have him ready for Thursday’s clash against Israel.

Despite his dominant club form, the ex-Borussia Monchengladbach star has struggled for France.

It’s due to Les Bleus’ overreliance on Mbappe.

However, Deschamps has left his captain out of the team this month, perhaps offering Thuram a chance to take the spotlight.

The in-form striker has entered the international break as the joint-top scorer in Serie A.

Indeed, his game-winning hat-trick against Torino took his league tally for the 2024/25 season to seven goals.

On the other hand, Asllani’s first-team opportunities have been at a premium.

The Albanian playmaker has only made 142 minutes of top-flight action this term.

Therefore, he could find the international window a welcoming distraction.
