After the official announcement in recent days, Inter will have to play an unusual friendly in Libya against Atletico Madrid next Friday, right in the middle of the international break. Cristian Chivu‘s team will take the field in Benghazi on Friday, October 10 at 6:00 PM, in a match organized to inaugurate the renovated Benghazi International Stadium and to award the Reconstruction Cup – FDRL Cup.
Obviously, Inter will not have most of the squad available, as 13 Nerazzurri players will be around the world with their respective national teams, just like the Spaniards. The rest of the group, as explained by La Gazzetta dello Sport, will return to Appiano Gentile tomorrow afternoon after two days of rest following the win over Cremonese. Afterwards, two more morning training sessions are scheduled before departure, which is set for Thursday afternoon, on the eve of the friendly.
Once back in Italy, Chivu will grant a full four days of rest and the team – with the return of the many internationals – will begin preparing for the match scheduled for Saturday, October 18 against Roma starting from Wednesday.
