Inter Milan Team News

Cristian Chivu’s men will have to make do without their talismanic striker Marcus Thuram, who remains sidelined with a thigh problem picked up during the clash with Slavia Prague in late September. The French international is set to return next weekend when Inter travel to Napoli. “Marcus needs a few more days, I don’t know what to tell you,” Chivu admitted during his pre-match press conference, confirming his unavailability.

In Thuram’s absence, 21-year-old French forward Ange-Yoan Bonny has stepped up impressively and will once again partner Lautaro Martinez in attack when the Nerazzurri take on Union Saint-Gilloise.

At the back, the dependable trio of Francesco Acerbi, Alessandro Bastoni, and new signing Manuel Akanji are expected to start, offering solidity and composure in defence. Denzel Dumfries and Federico Dimarco are likely to operate as wing-backs, providing dynamic width on either flank. In midfield, Nicolò Barella, Hakan Çalhanoğlu, and Henrikh Mkhitaryan form a well-balanced central unit, combining energy, creativity, and experience.

Inter also remain without defender Matteo Darmian and backup goalkeeper Raffaele Di Gennaro due to injuries.
