Argentina Megastar Injury Puts More Pressure On France Center-Forward Ahead Of Inter Milan Vs Udinese Serie A Clash | OneFootball

Marcus Thuram will be a focal point of Inter Milan’s attack against Udinese now that Lautaro Martinez is out injured.

According to Corriere dello Sport via FCInterNews, El Toro’s absences puts more pressure on the French center-forward.

Days after scoring in Inter’s 2-0 win at Atalanta, Lautaro Martinez returned from international duty with a muscle injury.

Therefore, he’ll probably be unavailable for selection next weekend when the reigning Scudetto holders take on Udinese at home.

Despite failing to score in Serie A action since mid-January, Thuram is still Inter’s best league scorer this season.

Indeed, he has bagged 13 goals in Serie A alone, adding three more in other competitions.

Furthermore, he found the net in both Champions League last-16 legs against Feyenoord, defying his league drought.

Therefore, Simone Inzaghi will turn to the French talisman in times of crisis.

However, it’s worth noting that Thuram has recently struggled with an ankle problem.

As such, France gaffer Didier Deschamps allowed him to return to the San Siro yesterday.
