Inter Vs AC Milan – France Megastar & Italian Veteran To Regain Full Fitness: Armenian Midfielder Remains On The Sidelines | OneFootball

Inter stars Marcus Thuram and Matteo Darmian will both be ready for the upcoming Serie A clash against AC Milan.

According to Corriere dello Sport via FCinter1908, Henrikh Mkhitaryan will be the only notable absentee in the Nerazzurri squad.

Marcus Thuram has remained at Appiano Gentile after being omitted from the French squad by Didier Deschamps.

Indeed, the 28-year-old has only recently returned to full fitness after being sidelined for 40 days with a hamstring injury.

Furthermore, he made two cameo appearances against Kairat Almaty and Lazio on the eve of the international break.

However, the former Borussia Monchengladbach star will be in contention for the starting berth against the Rossoneri.

In addition to Thuram, Darmian is on the verge of recovery, giving head coach Cristian Chivu a crucial defensive boost.

With Luis Henrique still unable to adapt to Serie A, the Nerazzurri boss lacks a reliable backup for Denzel Dumfries on the right wing.

Therefore, Darmian’s return to the squad will provide Chivu with much-needed depth and experience on the flank.

Meanwhile, the Milan derby will come too soon for Mkhitaryan, who is still recovering from a thigh injury.

Indeed, the veteran midfielder has been on the sidelines since Inter’s controversial defeat at Napoli in mid-October.
