Alarm at Inter: only one striker available

Inter have only one fit striker available after Lautaro Martínez, Marcus Thuram and Ange-Yoan Bonny all suffered injuries; Bonny faces a month out.

Inter face a striker crisis ahead of their Serie A trip to Atalanta in 12 days. Lautaro Martínez was already sidelined, and on Tuesday both Marcus Thuram and Ange-Yoan Bonny joined the injury list.

Thuram left France's national team camp with a right hamstring injury that prevented him training on Monday, just days after scoring in Sunday's win over Como. Bonny suffered a right thigh flexor injury and will miss approximately a month. The Ivorian forward had come off the bench in that Como match, replacing Francesco Pio Esposito in the final quarter.

Esposito is now Inter's only available striker. Lautaro is continuing his recovery and is expected to rejoin group training on Monday, putting him in contention for the Atalanta fixture. Inter, the defending Serie A champions, sit second, one point behind Roma, and are 15th in the Champions League with six points from four matches.
