France, Rabiot and Thuram out: Milan and Inter say thank you. After the break there is the derby

Marcus Thuram and Adrien Rabiot will not go to the national team. France coach Didier Deschamps preferred to leave them out ahead of the upcoming matches against Ukraine and Azerbaijan. Unlike the Rossoneri midfielder, however, who was still in the pits due to a problem with his left calf, Thuram returned to the pitch against Kairat Almaty after more than a month out. Among the Serie A players present Maignan, Konè and Nkunku.

Thuram returned from injury against the Kazakhs playing in tandem with Bonny. Chivu inserted him into the fray in the last twenty minutes. He hadn’t played since the 3-0 against Slavia Prague on 30 September. He missed five league matches and one Champions League match. The exclusion from the France squad is excellent news for Inter, especially if we look at the calendar: on 23 November, when they resume after the break, Inter will have the derby against Milan. Thuram will be able to work in Appiano to recover 100%. Meanwhile, Sunday evening against Lazio will be another opportunity to see him on the pitch. It remains to be seen whether he will be able to play from the 1st minute or not. So far he has scored five goals in ten appearances.

Rabiot has not played since the match against Juve on 5 October. Deschamps had sent the pre-call-up for the two matches to Milanello, but in the end the midfielder will remain in Italy to work. It is unlikely that he will return to the pitch for the match against Parma.
