Marcus Thuram’s injury results worry Inter Milan and Chivu

The French striker’s absence after the muscle problem against Slavia Prague could create major issues for Cristian Chivu’s Inter Milan.

A setback after Inter Milan–Slavia Prague

The medical results for Marcus Thuram arrived two days ago, after the muscle problem suffered during Inter Milan’s clash with Slavia Prague.

According to Tuttosport via Fcinter1908, the news is not positive for Cristian Chivu. The Romanian coach will have to face the next matches without one of his most decisive players.

Why Thuram’s absence is a problem for Chivu

Since the beginning of the season, Thuram has always been in Chivu’s starting lineup. The former Borussia Moenchengladbach striker has guaranteed both quality and reliability.

With him on the pitch, Inter Milan often gave the feeling of starting the match already with a lead. His runs, strength, and sense of goal have been fundamental for the Nerazzurri.

Thuram’s numbers this season

The French forward has already collected impressive stats:

Five goals scored: two in Europe (both against Ajax in the 2–0 win in Amsterdam) and three in Serie A.

Two assists provided: one in Serie A and one in the Champions League.

Seven matches played overall this season.

These numbers show his importance in both competitions, highlighting the weight of his absence for Inter Milan.

What Inter Milan risk without him

Without Thuram, Chivu loses a reliable goalscorer and a key tactical reference point. The challenge now will be finding alternatives capable of maintaining the same attacking danger.

Inter Milan will need collective solutions and a step forward from other forwards to compensate for Thuram’s absence.
