Chivu Welcomes Back National Players: Inter Fully Assembled Two Weeks Before Monza Clash

August 10, 2026Diego Herrera1 мин

After concluding their Australian tour, Cristian Chivu reunited with the remaining players who participated in the World Cup today at Appiano Gentile. Lautaro Martinez, Marcus Thuram, and the new acquisition John Stones have rejoined the squad. This is welcome news for the Romanian coach, who can now seriously focus on preparations for the start of the new season.

With two weeks remaining until the kick-off of their San Siro match against Monza, the first Serie A fixture of the new season for the Italian Champions, Chivu can now rely on his entire squad. He awaits further reinforcements from the management in the transfer market. It is unlikely that the latest three arrivals will be ready to start as regulars on Saturday, August 22nd. Chivu already has several ideas for the starting eleven that will take the field against Monza, particularly in attack, where Esposito and Bonny remain the favorites for a starting spot.
