Treble-Chasing Inter Hoping Injured Thuram Can Return For Coppa Italia Clash

‎Inter Milan striker, Marcus Thuram, is dealing with a thigh injury, the Serie A leaders announced on Friday.

‎The team is now assessing whether he will be able to recover in time for their upcoming Coppa Italia semi-final against AC Milan next week.

‎The Frenchman, Inter’s top scorer in Serie A with 14 goals, is likely to miss Sunday’s Serie A match at fifth-placed Bologna, Italian media reported, as the club confirmed Thuram underwent medical tests this morning.

‎”The tests revealed fatigue in the adductor muscles of his left thigh. His condition will be assessed day by day,” Inter said in a statement.

‎Champions Inter currently sit atop the Italian Serie A standings with 71 points after 32 matches, three points clear of Napoli. They will host AC Milan in the second leg of their Coppa Italia semi-final on Wednesday, following a 1-1 draw in the first leg.

‎Inter, one of eight teams that have won a league, cup, and European Cup treble, could repeat the feat this season.

‎They will compete against Barcelona, another treble-winning team, in the Champions League semi-finals after securing their place in the final four of Europe’s premier club competition with a 4-3 aggregate victory over Bayern Munich.

‎Thuram, who has started 26 league games and missed only one this season, recently dropped out of the France squad due to an ankle injury.
