Inter Milan Vs Atalanta – Italy Star Could Miss Clash Through Injury As France Forward Leads The Line | OneFootball

Inter Milan face an anxious wait over Alessandro Bastoni ahead of Saturday’s crucial Serie A clash with Atalanta, with the Italy defender still working apart from the main group after picking up a knock during the Milan derby according to Corriere dello Sport.

The pain from the knock has not subsided sufficiently for Bastoni to reintegrate into full training.

And, furthermore, his chances of being available from the start are diminishing.

A further assessment will be carried out today to determine the full extent of the issue.

Although the Corriere report, via FCInterNews, he could yet make the bench if he does not start.

The derby also brought more positive news on the attacking front.

Marcus Thuram is back in contention and set to reclaim his place in the starting lineup alongside Pio Esposito.

Having indeed been restricted to the bench against Milan due to illness.

The return of the France forward will significantly strengthen Inter’s threat in behind.

Especially after a frustrating evening in the derby with the young Bonny-Esposito partnership.

In midfield, another selection dilemma presents itself.

Petar Sucic and Henrikh Mkhitaryan are locked in a battle for a starting berth, with Chivu yet to decide between the two.

At right wing-back, Denzel Dumfries could start or drop to the bench.

Indeed, his match fitness and stamina levels remain a consideration as he continues to build back from his lengthy injury absence.
