Inter Milan’s attacking plans are being reshaped by the absence of Marcus Thuram.
The French forward is expected to be out until late October, with his return pencilled in for the away match against Napoli.
In the meantime, Cristian Chivu will need to adapt quickly.
According to Corriere dello Sport, via FCInterNews, the Nerazzurri coach is ready to rely heavily on his young strikers.
Thuram’s muscular problem is a blow to Chivu’s plans.
The forward had started every league match this season before picking up the setback in Europe.
With Lautaro Martinez also due to travel with Argentina during the break, Inter will need fresh solutions.
This means Bonny and Pio Esposito are expected to play bigger roles in the upcoming fixtures against Cremonese, Roma and Napoli.
Bonny & Esposito Eager To Seize Their Chance Whilst Thuram Sits Out For Chivu At Inter
Corriere dello Sport highlights how both youngsters are eager to prove they belong at this level.
“The Frenchman’s injury represents a huge opportunity for them,” the paper writes, adding that the pair have already shown flashes of quality.
Bonny scored at the first attempt in Serie A, while Esposito struck against Cagliari to break his duck.
For Chivu, the challenge will be managing their development while maintaining results.
The coach knows Inter will need their energy and goals until Thuram is back.
