Inter: ThuLa duo may return v Lazio, Chivu’s plan for big match | OneFootball

Great news is coming from the Nerazzurri infirmary, after Marcus Thuram came on for a good twenty minutes in the Champions League against Kairat. Here are Chivu’s thoughts ahead of the match against Lazio.

Inter, possible return of the ThuLa duo from the start against Lazio: Chivu’s management of the attack

Christian Chivu, after achieving a perfect score in the Champions League thanks to Wednesday’s victory, is already considering his options ahead of the crucial Sunday night match against Maurizio Sarri’s Lazio.

Against Kairat, the Romanian coach opted to rest some starters, including the introduction of Frattesi and Zielinski in midfield and Bissek and Carlos Augusto in defense. However, with Lazio, the coach is considering fielding his main starters again, and among them, bringing back his French striker, Marcus Thuram. After 20 minutes in the Champions League in place of Pio Esposito, La Gazzetta dello Sport reports:

“Those 19 minutes spent on the pitch against Kairat, after more than a month of waiting, were just a taste of what’s to come: Marcus Thuram is feeling good, the hamstring injury that sidelined him last September 30 is now completely behind him and the Frenchman is now officially in contention for a starting spot in the match against Lazio, scheduled for Sunday evening at San Siro. Everything suggests, moreover, that against the Biancocelesti the ThuLa duo could reconnect as in the old days, meaning from the start: Chivu’s decision, who the other night spared Lautaro for 45 minutes by leaving him on the bench after halftime (and after he found the net), is heading precisely in this direction.”

So, barring any surprises, we’ll see the ThuLa duo back on the pitch from the first minute, the same duo that made Inter fans fall in love in previous seasons.
