However, the &#8216;Nerrazzurri&#8217; will be without Matteo Darmian, who was revealed to have sustained a thigh injury.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Good news for Inter ahead of their Serie A showdown against Napoli. Marcus Thuram is in line to start at the Diego Armando Maradona after recovering from an ankle injury suffered in the 2-1 win over Fiorentina two weeks ago.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The French forward attempted to play off the blow in Inter&#8217;s 1-0 defeat at Juventus but was eventually forced off early, missing out on the wins over Genoa (1-0) in the league and Lazio (2-0) in the Coppa Italia quarter-finals over the week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, he is now back for arguably the biggest game of the Italian top flight so far as Napoli and Inter find themselves in a heated battle for the &#8216;Scudetto&#8217;. Only one point separates the two sides ahead of Saturday evening&#8217;s crunch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While Thuram returned to regular team training this morning, Inter manager Simone Inzaghi sees himself with a crisis on the flanks as Matteo Darmian has joined Nicola Zalewski and Carlos Augusto in the treatment room.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Inter confirmed earlier on Thursday that the former Man United full-back has sustained a thigh injury in Monday&#8217;s domestic cup win over Lazio. 35-year-old Darmian will therefore set to sit out the trip to Naples and is expected back in late March.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.besoccer.com\/match\/napoli\/internazionale\/202525477\"><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Serie A leaders Inter could have Marcus Thuram back in the starting lineup for Saturday&#8217;s crunch against Napoli<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":318,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-317","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mktynews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/317","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mktynews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mktynews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mktynews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mktynews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=317"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/mktynews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/317\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":319,"href":"https:\/\/mktynews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/317\/revisions\/319"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mktynews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/318"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mktynews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=317"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mktynews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=317"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mktynews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=317"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
