Inter Milan forward Marcus Thuram has been undergoing a managed physical recovery process to prepare for the upcoming season. Initially, the club opted for a cautious approach, excluding him from a friendly against Real Betis to focus on personalized training at the Appiano Gentile training center. This strategy aimed to avoid potential setbacks related to past calf issues following his commitments with the French national team.

By late August, Thuram returned to full group training. While he has progressed through tactical and physical sessions, he faces competition for a starting position from Pio Esposito, who has already secured roles after participating in the full pre-season camp.
