Inter returns to the field, today a test against Karlsruhe in Germany

After months since the last official match, Inter inaugurates the new season today with the first summer test of the Cristian Chivu era. At 16:30, in Germany, the Nerazzurri will face Karlsruhe in a friendly that represents the initial test for the team led by the Romanian coach.

The result will take a back seat, but the match will offer important indications about the work done in the first weeks of preparation. Chivu will take advantage of the occasion to give playing time to all available players, distributing minutes among the various departments. The goal is to get minutes in the legs and assess the fitness level of the group ahead of the upcoming preseason commitments.

The Nerazzurri will face top-level opponents during the summer tour: Manchester City, Milan, and Juventus will be the most challenging tests, useful for understanding the team’s growth level before the start of the official season.

Today’s match marks the first step of the new era: a useful afternoon to regain rhythm, observe the new mechanisms, and start building the team that will face the numerous appointments of the 2026/27 season.
