Report – Inter Milan Superstar Omitted From France Squad Following Lengthy Injury Spell | OneFootball

France gaffer Didier Deschamps has left Inter Milan star Marcus Thuram out of his squad for the upcoming FIFA World Cup qualifiers.

According to FCInterNews, the 28-year-old won’t be part of the national team in October’s matches against Ukraine and Azerbaijan.

Seeking their eighth consecutive World Cup appearance, Les Bleus have enjoyed a near-faultless start to their qualifying campaign.

Indeed, they had won their opening three Group D fixtures before sharing the spoils with Iceland in a high-scoring 2-2 draw.

Despite recovering from a nasty hamstring injury, Marcus Thuram will not feature for France this month.

Indeed, Deschamps has decided against calling up the former Borussia Monchengladbach forward.

However, it’s only a precautionary measure as Thuram only recently resumed full training.

Still, he made a cameo appearance in Inter’s 2-1 home win over Kairat Almaty last night and almost got on the scoresheet.

Deschamps’ decision to let Thuram stay at Appiano Gentile during the international break should benefit Inter.
