Marcus Thuram, race against time for Madrid

The condition of Marcus Thuram

The negative note of Inter's evening was undoubtedly the injury suffered by Marcus Thuram. Towards the end of the first half, the player began to manifest groin discomfort, attempting to hold out on the field until the end of the fraction of the game, but eventually had to give up, yielding his place to Arnautovic.

According to reports in Gazzetta dello Sport, Inter initially speculated a contracture in the adductor to be evaluated, but later the hypothesis of an elongation was strengthened. These types of injuries usually take about 20 days to recover, so there is a race against time ahead for his return to the field for the match against Madrid. Tests are scheduled in the coming hours to determine the'extent of the injury.

Thuram until now had never missed a game, having played as a starter in all 24 league matches and in the two Super Cup challenges, in addition to subbing in three Champions League group matches and in the Italian Cup round of 16 lost to Bologna.
