Marcus Thuram Expected to Start for Inter Milan vs Juventus

Inter Milan is optimistic about the fitness of striker Marcus Thuram ahead of their crucial Serie A clash against Juventus this weekend, despite his recent injury scare. Thuram was substituted early in the match against Fiorentina due to a left ankle issue, but reports indicate that he has only sustained a minor contusion and is expected to recover in time. His presence is deemed critical as he is Inter's leading goalscorer, and alongside Lautaro Martinez, he is pivotal to the team's attack. Coach Simone Inzaghi will also consider Marko Arnautovic, who similarly had to leave the Fiorentina match due to injury, for the Juventus matchup. With Inter trailing Napoli by just one point, this match carries significant weight for their title aspirations. Both teams are looking to gain momentum, making the Derby d'Italia an essential fixture this weekend.
