Eight days before the league debut against Monza, Inter led by Cristian Chivu continues its preparations for the new season. According to Corriere dello Sport, the Nerazzurri team keeps training under the orders of the Romanian coach, with almost all players available.
The only unavailable player remains Massolin, who has been sidelined for weeks due to a muscle strain suffered during the training camp in Donaueschingen. Tomorrow, on Ferragosto, the Nerazzurri will play their last preseason friendly in Bari against Betis.
Lautaro, Thuram, Stones, Akanji, and Sucic, who joined the group at the start of the week, will also be available for the match. Spence, on the other hand, will be absent as he must first complete all athletic tests at Appiano before being available to Chivu. The sports daily notes the hope of having him available for selection already for the opening match of the league.
For tomorrow’s match, there is a possible starting chance for Akanji, but also for Pio Esposito and Bonny, who could then start in the match against Monza as well. Everything will depend on the conditions of Lautaro and Thuram, who are working to regain their best form: if they surprisingly prove able to handle significant playing time, the balance could change.
