Inter Milan’s Marcus Thuram ‘likely to miss’ Coppa Italia final after training knock | OneFootball

Inter Milan may have to do without Marcus Thuram in Wednesday’s Coppa Italia final against Lazio after he sustained a knock in Monday’s training session. Gazzetta reports he was forced to halt the workout.

The 28-year-old will undergo clinical tests on Tuesday to assess the extent of the problem, and FcInterNews believes he has been virtually ruled out as unlikely to recover in time.

Inter have already sealed their 21st Scudetto this month and are chasing a first domestic double since 2010, when Jose Mourinho led the treble winners.

Thuram has been in strong form. Although he did not score in Saturday’s dress rehearsal against Lazio, he set up Lautaro Martínez’s opener.

It remains to be seen if Francesco Pio Esposito will be fit enough to partner his Argentine captain in Cristian Chivu’s 3-5-2. Otherwise, Yoan Ange Bonny could start, the former Parma striker having set up the assist for Henrikh Mkhitaryan, who scored Inter’s third at the weekend.
