Inter's French striker Marcus Thuram's recovery from injury and his potential return to the starting lineup gives the team an added advantage ahead of the Milan derby.
Idman.Biz reports that, according to "Corriere della Sera", the 28-year-old striker will be in the starting lineup for this match. Thuram has not started a match for almost two months.
Thuram's return allows head coach Cristian Chivu to use the "Thu-La" duo - Thuram and Lautaro Martinez - in attack again. Argentine international striker Lautaro Martinez will be the captain of his team in the derby.
On the other hand, Ange-Yoan Bonny and Francesco Pio Esposito, who started the season successfully, will remain on the bench. Bonny has already scored four goals in the championship and only Hakan Çalhanoğlu has scored more goals for Inter. Esposito has attracted attention by scoring two goals in the World Cup qualifying stage for the Italian national team.
Therefore, Kivu also has strong attacking potential on the bench and has the opportunity to use his young players depending on the course of the match.
