Inter returns to the field this evening for the rescheduled match of the sixteenth round of Serie A against Lecce. For Cristian Chivu, who gave his players a day off on the eve of the game, it will be an opportunity to gauge the feelings of the whole team after the bitter draw obtained on Sunday evening against Napoli.
The match between Inter-Lecce will be refereed by Fabio Maresca, as announced by AIA. The referee from the Naples section will be assisted by Passeri and Di Gioia, with Manganiello as the Fourth Official. VAR will be handled by Maggioni and Chiffi as AVAR.
After almost two years, during which he first suffered an injury and then had to serve a suspension for a ban received in Kuwait, Maresca returns to referee Inter. The last precedent dates back to a Derby d’Italia won by the Nerazzurri against Juventus 1-0 in February 2024. Overall, there have been 18 matches in which the Naples referee has officiated Inter in his career, during which the Nerazzurri club has collected 12 wins, 3 draws, and 3 losses.
