Inter needed a Thuram like this without Lautaro: Bergomi's analysis

Thuram has stepped up as Inter's key attacking force with Lautaro Martinez sidelined, impressing with a strong run of goals at San Siro.

With Lautaro Martinez unavailable, Inter found a driving force in Marcus Thuram during their 2-1 win over Fiorentina. The French forward has been in impressive form at San Siro, scoring consistently in the early stages of the season. Bergomi praised Thuram's impact, suggesting that his omission from the France squad may have benefited him mentally. "Without Lautaro you need a presence, and last season he wasn't this consistent," Bergomi said. "We're only at matchday eight but he's started really well." Thuram's performances have been crucial to Inter's campaign as they navigate the absence of their regular striker.
