With less than two weeks to go before their highly anticipated UEFA Champions League semifinal first-leg match against FC Barcelona, Inter Milan has been dealt what could prove a significant blow.
The Italian giants have confirmed a key player will be sidelined for their next match and could be out for the crucial encounter in Catalonia.
Marcus Thuram has a problem in his left thigh and will miss the next match against Bologna in Serie A on Sunday. The club has been tight-lipped about how long they expect the Frenchman to be out.
All that is known is that his availability is listed as day-to-day, and that it will depend on whether he feels physically fit to take part.
With 17 goals and 5 assists this season, Thuram is a major figure in Inter’s attack. His potential absence could prove pivotal in the tightly contested battle for a spot in the Champions League final.
Barcelona will be without Marc Bernal, Marc-André ter Stegen, and Marc Casadó due to long term injuries.
Most crucially, Alejandro Balde is working towards being fit just in time for the first leg.
