Cristian Chivu does not want to waste time, despite the break for international commitments having almost emptied the first team. Unlike other years, in fact, this time Inter will also be able to count on the boys from the U23 team who will train for three days at Appiano Gentile at the service of the Romanian coach together with the remaining first-team stars.

As recalled this morning by La Gazzetta dello Sport, there are as many as 11 Inter players who from today will return to work under Chivu’s orders: Yann Sommer, Josep Martinez, Raffaele Di Gennaro, Francesco Acerbi, Tomas Palacios, Matteo Darmian, Carlos Augusto, Henrick Mkhitaryan, Ange Yoan Bonny, Luis Henrique and, above all, Andy Diouf.

All eyes will be on the Frenchman, the penultimate Nerazzurri signing before Akanji, during the friendly scheduled for next Friday against Padova at Appiano Gentile at 11:30 am. This will be the opportunity to test the former Lens midfielder and keep all the other Inter players focused ahead of a calendar that, starting in September, will become very intense with the Champions League fixtures.
