At Inter there is joy for the first call-up to the National Team for Francesco Pio Esposito but in total there are as many as 13 Nerazzurri players called up by their respective coaches around the world. For Cristian Chivu the hope will obviously be to see everyone return in the best condition given that at the restart of Serie A there will be the clash with Juventus.

The Derby d’Italia at the home of the Bianconeri rivals will be on Saturday the 13th at 18:00 and in this sense, the late arrival of Lautaro Martinez who will play his last match with Argentina in the night between Tuesday the 9th and Wednesday the 10th does not help. His arrival in Milan will therefore be just a few hours before the match with Juve and this will not help the preparation for the match.

Below is the complete list of all the commitments of the 13 Inter players who have answered the call of their respective National Teams on the occasion of this first break of the 2025/26 Serie A season:
