According to Italian media, Thuram is set to miss the weekend's action, including the Coppa Italia semi-final against AC Milan. There's a glimmer of hope he could return for the game against Roma, but his availability is far from certain, leaving him a question mark for the first-leg against Barcelona.

Thuram has been a revelation this season, netting 17 goals and setting up five more in his 44 games across all competitions as Inter sit atop the Serie A table and booked their place in the Champions League semis. This injury could well be a devastating blow to their title ambitions.
