Inter star confirmed absent, another fit for Barcelona match

La Gazzetta dello Sport reported that Marcus Thuram will feature for Inter in the first leg of the Champions League quarterfinal against Barcelona.

The French striker has missed the Nerazzurri’s last three matches due to injury, and there were doubts about whether he would continue to miss the match against Barcelona.

However, according to the latest report, Inter preferred not to risk Thuram and return him to the field quickly, especially since his recovery was progressing slowly.

In the same context, it has become clear that Inter will play the Barcelona match without center-back Benjamin Pavard.

The former Bayern Munich defender suffered a severe sprain in his left ankle, making his participation in the second leg next week uncertain.

Inter has lost its last three matches in all competitions for the first time in years, losing the Coppa Italia title and losing the lead in the Serie A to Napoli.
