Cristian Chivu was unable to call upon the 28-year-old for last weekend’s Milan derby.
Indeed, a flu prevented the former Borussia Monchengladbach star from featuring in inter’s gut-wrenching 1-0 defeat to AC Milan.
However, he has regained full fitness and will be in contention for the team this weekend.
Marcus Thuram to Start in Inter Milan vs Atalanta Clash
Despite his household status at San Siro, Marcus Thuram has not been at his best this season.
Indeed, he has netted just seven goals in 21 Serie A appearances, failing to find the net in his last three league outings.
Still, with Lautaro Martinez still in the pits, it’s up to Thuram to lead by example.
