The Inter squad is finally back to full strength at Appiano Gentile. The group that took part in the tour between Hong Kong and Perth will be joined by Akanji, Lautaro Martinez, Thuram, and Stones, who started their preparation later and did not take part in the overseas friendlies.
Before the league debut on August 22 against Monza at San Siro, the Nerazzurri will play one last friendly on Saturday, August 15. The match is scheduled at the San Nicola in Bari, where in the evening they will face Real Betis. It will be another opportunity to test their condition ahead of the season debut, even though the team will not yet be at full strength.
Among the last to return, it will be very difficult to see the Martinez-Thuram pair on the field, while it seems more likely that Akanji will be used in defense, at least for part of the match.
