Injuries mount at Inter, relief for Thuram

Inter's fitness situation is mixed. Marcus Thuram's injury is not as serious as first feared, but the player has been ruled out of international duty. Ange-Yoan Bonny was forced to cut short his duty with Ivory Coast, while Aleksandar Stankovic had to end his Serbia national team duty early.

Thuram withdrew from France's squad for the Nations League matches against Italy and Belgium because of a hamstring problem. According to tests reported by La Gazzetta dello Sport and Sky Sport Italia, the issue was caused by fatigue and no muscle tear was found. Thuram is reportedly hoping to be ready for Inter's match against Atalanta on 22 November, when Serie A resumes.

This is the latest injury news for Inter. Bonny has left the Ivory Coast squad and Stankovic has left Serbia's. Lautaro Martinez, Luis Henrique, Benjamin Pavard, Curtis Jones and John Stones have been injured for some time ahead of the break. Djed Spence will also not feature in England's Nations League match against Croatia tomorrow.

Inter have missed 15 of the 37 official matches they have played this season due to injured and unavailable players.
