Inter Milan Star Striker To Start In France Vs Iceland World Cup Qualifier Amid Injuries To Paris Saint-Germain Duo | OneFootball

Inter Milan star Marcus Thuram could start in tonight’s FIFA World Cup qualifying clash between France and Iceland.

According to L’Equipe via FCInterNews, the 28-year-old is the favorite to partner up with Kylian Mbappe in the final third.

Didier Deschamps left the ex-Borussia Monchengladbach talisman on the bench in a 2-0 win at Ukraine last week.

However, after losing two star forwards to injuries, Marcus Thuram has emerged as the best candidate to join forces with Mbappe.

Paris Saint-Germain duo Desire Doue and Ousmane Dembele have pulled out of the squad due to injuries.

Therefore, Deschamps is considering handing Thuram his first start in the current qualifying cycle.

Furthermore, the former Juventus coach will probably change formation for tonight’s match in Paris.

Indeed, he will go from his preferred 4-2-3-1 set-up to a 4-4-2, which favors Thuram over other attacking options.

It will be an opportunity for Thuram to prove himself to a coach who recently praised his qualities.
