During this league break for international matches, Inter Milan will have a chance to rest and catch a breath for those players who were not called up to their respective national teams. However, the Nerazzurri currently have as many as 12 players already called up, plus another player whose call-up is highly probable.
Coach Simone Inzaghi will therefore have limited options at Appiano Gentile, especially if you also consider the injured players such as Dimarco, Darmian, or Zielinski. Hence, it will be a pause from Serie A action, but with very little space for rest for the Nerazzurri group. Here is the complete list of called-up Inter players:
ITALY: Nicolò Barella, Alessandro Bastoni, Davide Frattesi Nations League quarter-final vs Germany;
GERMANY: Yann Bisseck Nations League quarter-final vs Italy;
ARGENTINA: Lautaro Martinez World Cup qualifiers vs Uruguay and Brazil;
TURKEY: Hakan Calhanoglu Nations League playoff vs Hungary;
AUSTRIA: Marko Arnautovic Nations League playoff vs Serbia;
FRANCE: Marcus Thuram, Benjamin Pavard Nations League quarter-final vs Croatia;
NETHERLANDS: Denzel Dumfries Nations League quarter-final vs Spain;
POLAND: Nicola Zalewski World Cup qualifiers vs Lithuania and Malta;
ALBANIA: Kristjan Asllani World Cup qualifiers vs England and Andorra.
Finally, Mehdi Taremi‘s selection with Iran remains doubtful, though it’s highly probable since he’s a leader and captain of his national team. An official announcement from the Iranian head coach has not yet arrived.
