Inter Await Mkhitaryan Scan Results, Thuram Nears Return

Today's scans will clarify the veteran's muscle injury to guide Inter's selection choices.

Overview

  • Henrikh Mkhitaryan left NapoliInter in the 32nd minute with a problem to the left thigh flexors and is due for imaging at Humanitas.
  • Initial assessments suggest the issue is not minor, with a provisional absence estimated at roughly four to six weeks pending test results.
  • A best-case recovery could place his return around the late-November trip to Atletico Madrid, while a second-degree injury would likely push it into December.
  • Marcus Thuram has resumed on-field work after a left biceps femoris injury sustained on September 30 and will increase his training load over the next two days.
  • He is expected to rejoin full training between Thursday and Friday, and any inclusion for Verona will be a decision for coach Cristian Chivu, who may opt for caution with Champions League and Lazio fixtures ahead.
