Inter Milan Eye Title Defense, Injured Stars Miss Opener
Injuries Plague Inter Ahead of Upcoming Campaign
Inter Milan will begin their Serie A title defense without key players Stefan de Vrij and Piotr Zielinski. Both players are sidelined with injuries as Inter prepares for their matchday 1 clash against Genoa on Saturday, August 17.
Inzaghi Relies on Familiar Faces
Inter coach Simone Inzaghi will likely turn to the same core group of players who led the club to the title last season. The team will be led by striker Romelu Lukaku, midfielder Nicolo Barella, and defender Alessandro Bastoni.
Expected Starting Lineup
- Goalkeeper: Samir Handanovic
- Defenders: Denzel Dumfries, Milan Skriniar, Alessandro Bastoni, Federico Dimarco
- Midfielders: Nicolo Barella, Marcelo Brozovic, Hakan Calhanoglu
- Forwards: Romelu Lukaku, Lautaro Martinez, Joaquin Correa
Outlook for Inter's Title Defense
Despite the injuries to de Vrij and Zielinski, Inter is still considered one of the favorites to win the Serie A title again this season. The team has a deep squad and a wealth of experience, with many key players entering the prime years of their career.
Inter won their ninth straight Serie A match in their last match against Genoa, beating them 2-1 on matchday 27 of last season. The match was played on March 5th, 2023.
