Marcus Thuram injury France squad withdrawal, Digi Mart USA News: Inter forward Marcus Thuram has left the France national team camp due to a right biceps femoris injury. He sustained the injury during Inter’s 2-0 victory over Como on Sunday, a match in which he had still managed to score.
The French Football Federation confirmed the news in an official statement. The federation said persistent discomfort prevented Thuram from taking part in Monday’s training session, and he remained behind to receive treatment.
The statement added that, with no improvement that morning and following examinations, the France medical staff decided, in agreement with Inter and the player, to return him to his club.
Thuram will therefore miss France’s next two Nations League matches: the game against Italy coached by Roberto Mancini on Thursday, November 12 at San Siro, and the trip to Turkey on Sunday, November 15. He is expected to return to Milan, where the club’s medical staff will assess the severity of the injury and the expected recovery time.
The absence is a setback for Cristian Chivu, who is already without Ange-Yoan Bonny, sidelined for about a month with a flexor injury. Lautaro Martinez has only just returned from injury himself, leaving Chivu with just two available attackers.
This season, Thuram has already scored six goals in Serie A, underlining his importance to Inter’s attack.
