Inter Milan striker Marcus Thuram has been ruled out of France's upcoming matches against Italy and Turkey due to a right hamstring injury.
Marcus Thuram's much-anticipated return to the French national team has been cut short. The Inter Milan forward, who was called up for the November international break, has been forced to withdraw from the squad after suffering an injury to his right hamstring.
The 27-year-old striker was expected to feature in Les Bleus' two upcoming fixtures: an away match against Italy on November 12th and a home encounter against Turkey on November 15th. However, medical examinations have confirmed that Thuram will be unavailable for selection, dealing a blow to France's attacking options.
This setback comes at an unfortunate time for the player, who had recently regained full fitness and was enjoying a strong spell with his club side. Thuram's versatility and physical presence have made him an important asset for both Inter Milan and the French national team in recent years.
The French Football Federation has not yet announced a replacement for Thuram in the squad. Head coach Didier Deschamps will now need to reassess his options as Les Bleus prepare for these crucial Nations League matches. The team currently sits atop their group and will be looking to maintain their position with positive results in the upcoming fixtures.
Thuram's injury adds to France's growing list of absentees, forcing the coaching staff to adapt their plans ahead of the international window. The squad will convene in Clairefontaine before traveling to Rome for the first match of this double-header.
