Inter Milan Suffers Injury Blow Before Cremonese Showdown

On Saturday, October 4th, 2025, Inter Milan and Cremonese will square off at the Giuseppe Meazza stadium in a crucial Serie A encounter. Both teams currently sit level on 9 points in the league table, with Inter in fifth place and Cremonese in seventh.

However, Inter Milan has been hit with a significant setback as their French striker Marcus Thuram has been ruled out for several weeks due to a thigh injury sustained during their recent 3-0 Champions League victory over Slavia Prague. Thuram initially downplayed the issue, but subsequent medical examinations have revealed he will miss this weekend's clash as well as France's upcoming World Cup qualifiers.

Inter manager Cristian Chivu is expected to make up to five changes to his starting lineup, with young Frenchman Ange-Yoan Bonny set to make his first Serie A start, likely partnering Lautaro Martinez in attack. The Nerazzurri have found their rhythm in recent weeks, winning their last four competitive matches and keeping clean sheets in three of those victories.

Meanwhile, the newly promoted Cremonese side continues to deal with several injury concerns of their own. Goalkeeper Emil Audero remains sidelined with a calf injury, while midfielder Michele Collocolo and striker Faris Moumbagna are also out. However, Cremonese can call upon experienced striker Jamie Vardy, who will look to make his mark against Inter's defense.

Cremonese has maintained an unbeaten start to the season, though they have struggled to find the net recently, scoring just once in their last three league outings. Their most recent result was a 1-1 draw with Como, with Federico Baschirotto on target to extend their impressive unbeaten run.
