Inter, injury list remains long: seven players have missed 34 games

The injury list remains a major variable for Inter. Since the start of the season, seven players have collectively missed 34 matches because of physical problems. The latest case concerns Marcus Thuram, although his situation has produced reassuring signs: tests showed only fatigue, with no complications.

The figures underline the challenge managed by Cristian Chivu, who has repeatedly been forced to reshape his line-up and rotations. The attack has been particularly affected by absences, but the overall tally involves seven members of the squad. In Thuram’s case, there is no new muscle injury, meaning the staff will focus on a gradual recovery and monitor his condition during the international break.

Inter enter the break after beating Como 2-0 on November 8 and winning 3-0 away to Feyenoord in the Champions League. Their next fixture is away to Atalanta on Sunday, November 22, at 20:45. Managing energy levels and unavailable players will also be important before the European meeting with Stuttgart, scheduled for November 25 at San Siro.
