Argentina Forward To Partner France Megastar In AC Milan & Inter Milan Coppa Italia Semi-Final First-Leg Clash | OneFootball

Joaquin Correa will probably join forces with Marcus Thuram in attack as Inter Milan take on AC Milan in a Coppa Italia blockbuster tomorrow.

According to Gazzetta dello Sport via FCInterNews, the Argentine forward is the leading candidate to replace Lautaro Martinez.

El Toro returned from his international duty prematurely to work on his recovery.

Therefore, Simone Inzaghi cannot count on his captain, at least to start the match tomorrow night.

Meanwhile, Thuram has fully recovered from a niggling ankle problem.

Martinez’s absence will leave a massive hole in Inter’s attack, not to mention the psychological blow.

However, there’s no shortage of reliable alternatives for the Argentine megastar.

Mehdi Taremi remains on the sidelines and won’t return to action until late April.

On the other hand, Marko Arnautovic had to come off against Udinese with a minor injury.

As such, he will likely start on the bench, with Correa getting the nod in attack alongside Thuram.
