Golviva NewsroomUpdated
Marcus Thuram has withdrawn from France's Nations League squad with a right hamstring injury, L'Équipe reports. He misses the games against Italy in Milan on Thursday and Turkey in Bordeaux on Sunday.
The Inter forward picked up the problem in the 2-0 win over Como at the San Siro on Sunday, and the match record shows he scored in the 19th minute. TuttoMercatoWeb reports he will return to Inter for treatment, while Corriere dello Sport says the persistent problem has also worried the Serie A club.
RMC Sport reports that Zinedine Zidane has called up Eli Junior Kroupi, the 20-year-old Bournemouth forward, for the first time in his career. Foot Mercato notes that Thuram had only just been named after missing the September camp.
Golviva's valuation of Thuram is €41m, below his €50m market value on Transfermarkt. The Inter striker is under contract until June 2028 and has six goals and two assists in 10 appearances this season. Golviva's valuation of Kroupi is €72m, slightly above his €70m market value.
