The Latest Injury Updates for Inter’s Thuram and Zielinski
Inter Milan forward Marcus Thuram’s injury is classified as minor, while midfielder Piotr Zielinski faces greater concerns regarding a foot issue. According to reports from La Gazzetta dello Sport, Thuram left the France national team as a precaution due to fatigue in his right hamstring. Fortunately, the ailment is not serious, allowing him to return to training soon. He is expected to be available for Inter’s upcoming match against Atalanta in Bergamo on November 22.
This development provides a significant boost for Inter’s coach Cristian Chivu, who might opt to pair Thuram with Pio Esposito again. The duo has been effective this season, notching eight goals together in their six starts—five from Thuram and three from Esposito, contributing to a total of 18 scored and only five conceded by Inter.
Meanwhile, Lautaro Martínez is anticipated to return after the break, though his availability for the match against Atalanta remains uncertain. On the other hand, Ange-Yoan Bonny is sidelined until mid-December, and Aleksandar Stanković is expected to miss roughly a month.
Zielinski’s situation is more precarious. Poland’s head coach Jan Urban confirmed that Zielinski will be absent for today’s match against Romania due to flu. Additionally, Polish journalist Mateusz Borek reported, via CalcioMercato, that Zielinski arrived for national duty with a foot injury that causes pain when he sprints or changes direction. As a result, he is doubtful for the upcoming game against Sweden on Tuesday.
