Author of a very good season and a good start to the match, Marcus Thuram had to come off injured Tuesday evening during Inter-Atlético.
We awaited with some impatience the confrontation between two of the attackers of the France team, Marcus Thuram and Antoine Griezmann, for the round of 16 first leg of the Champions League between Inter Milan and Atlético de Madrid. Unfortunately for him, the first named had to leave the field at half-time due to injury.
Building on the momentum of his very good first season in Italy (10 goals and 7 assists in Serie A), Thuram had a solid first period. He had used his power to lead to a very poorly concluded counterattack by his friend Lautaro Martinez (38th). A few minutes later, the former Guingamp player stood out with a good shot (44th), but it was during this action that he injured his adductors.
Thuram in contention for the Euro
In a match played under the eyes of his father Lilian, Thuram quickly alerted the interior staff, and he gritted his teeth until half-time. Unsurprisingly, he did not return to the pitch after returning from the locker room, where Marko Arnautovic took his place in attack.
It’s a hard blow for Inter, who are losing one of their team’s executives this season. It is also a problem for the player himself, who is stopped in his tracks. Given his performances and the latest choices of Didier Deschamps, Marcus Thuram has a very good chance of being selected this summer for Euro 2024. We will have to see whether this injury (a contracture of the adductor muscles is mentioned) will deprive him of the rally or not of March, the last before the list for the Euro.
