Cristian Chivu is facing a crucial attacking decision ahead of Inter Milan’s match against Roma, as Marcus Thuram is likely to be sidelined due to injury while Ange-Yoan Bonny is expected to remain in the starting lineup.
As reported by Sky Sport, via FCInterNews, the French striker is currently dealing with muscle discomfort in his left thigh and has once again trained separately today.
The intention is to have him fully fit for the upcoming match against Napoli on October 25 at the Maradona.
“Thuram worked alone again today and is expected to return for Napoli,” Sky reported, indicating that he will miss the weekend’s game.
Chivu Selects Bonny Over Pio Esposito for Clash Against Roma
This situation leaves Chivu considering his options alongside Lautaro Martínez.
Martinez has returned from international duty in impressive form, having scored twice for Argentina against Puerto Rico.
Currently, Ange-Yoan Bonny is slightly favored over Francesco Pio Esposito for a starting position.
Bonny’s advantage comes from having remained in Milan during the international break.
Additionally, he has caught the attention of the coaching staff with his fitness and sharpness in training.
Sky mentions that Bonny’s physical attributes and chemistry with Lautaro could lead to his selection.
Regardless, the match at the Olimpico promises to be a high-octane contest.
