Inter Milan team news: Thuram and Dumfries back ahead of Atalanta clash

Bastoni still doubtful as Lautaro and Calhanoglu continue recovery

Inter Milan are preparing for their next Serie A match against Atalanta as they look to bounce back from the disappointing derby defeat to AC Milan.

After setbacks, the priority for coach Cristian Chivu is simple: turn the page quickly and respond on the pitch. 

The Romanian manager is working on his lineup while dealing with a mix of absences and positive returns from injury.

Thuram and Dumfries ready

According to reports from FCInter1908, Marcus Thuram has fully recovered after returning to full training with the squad.

Denzel Dumfries is also available. Unlike the derby, when he started from the bench, the Dutch wingback could now be included in the starting lineup against Atalanta.

Bastoni situation still unclear

The condition of Alessandro Bastoni remains under observation. The defender was forced off during the derby after suffering a heavy blow to the tibia.

He trained separately yesterday due to lingering discomfort and again followed an individual program today, although the situation is gradually improving. 

Chivu is expected to make a final decision tomorrow on whether Bastoni will be available for the match.

Lautaro and Calhanoglu still working individually

Meanwhile, Inter Milan fans continue to wait for the return of captain Lautaro Martinez and midfielder Hakan Calhanoglu.

Both players are still following personalized training programs, with the club hoping they will be able to rejoin the squad next week.

As Inter Milan prepare for a crucial stage of the season, Chivu is hoping to have his key players back as soon as possible.
