Inter Milan Suffer Double Injury Blow Ahead Of Derby d’Italia Clash Vs Juventus – France & Austria Stars In Doubt | OneFootball

Marcus Thuram and Marko Arnautovic are reportedly doubtful about Sunday’s Serie A match between Juventus and Inter Milan.

According to Gazzetta dello Sport via FCInterNews, both players have struggled with fitness issues after the Fiorentina game.

Simone Inzaghi had to take Thuram off inside the opening half an hour due to a reported ankle problem.

It proved a blessing in disguise as Arnautovic scored off the bench to inspire the Nerazzurri to a precious 2-1 win.

However, the goalscorer has also picked up a minor injury.

While Marcus Thuram left the pitch in the first half, Arnautovic surrendered his place to Mehdi Taremi late in the second.

Moreover, the Austrian veteran sustained an adductor problem during the game and could miss Sunday’s trip to Turin.

Both players will work separately from the group to allow the medical team to evaluate their condition.

Given the importance of the upcoming contest, losing both center-forwards would be devastating for Inzaghi.

Indeed, Inter have just whittled down the gap on table-topping Napoli to a single point.
