Already without Di Gennaro, Pavard and Acerbi due to injury, Inter had to deal with another physical issue in the first half of the Italian Supercup semifinal against Atalanta, staged in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
Inzaghi, in fact, had to replace Thuram between the first and second half as a precaution due to a slight fatigue in the left adductor. The striker had returned to the field 5 minutes before the end of the interval, probably to test his physical condition. In his place, Taremi entered.
