A goal in sight for Deschamps against the Devils? France’s leading scorer at the start of the season is out with injury

We will again understate the overload the players are exposed to in the current calendar. This past weekend, several big names had to go to the hospital. Alisson, Dani Carvajal, this is just a small, maybe not complete, view of the players who are out injured. A list that also includes Marcus Thuram.

The Frenchman scored a hat-trick against Torino, which gave Inter a 3-2 win. But he then had to give up his place in the last half hour, suffering a tackle from Maripan.

Uncertain for the League of Nations?

When he was released, he placed a large ice pack directly on his right ankle, reports RMC Sports. “He hit the tendon, he was complaining a bit at the end of the first half. He asked to be replaced afterwards. Our doctors and those of the team France he will test,” said his coach Simon Inzaghi.

A hard blow for Thuram who is still waiting to establish himself at the forefront of the French team’s attack. His start to the season should help: with 7 goals (and 3 assists) in 7 Serie A games, he is the leading French scorer since the restart.
