Inter Milan manager Simone Inzaghi has received a boost as key players begin returning to training ahead of a crucial stretch of matches. SportMediaset report how Nicolò Barella has surprised the coaching staff by reporting to Appiano Gentile a day earlier than expected following his recent nose surgery, demonstrating his eagerness to rejoin the squad.
Barella joins Palacios and Buchanan, who have been training at the club’s facilities while their teammates are away on international duty or enjoying a short break granted by Inzaghi. The midfielder’s early return is a positive sign for Inter as they prepare for a challenging run of fixtures against Monza, Manchester City, and AC Milan.
Another player looking to make an impact is Piotr Zielinski, who completed his international commitments with Poland last night, playing 62 minutes against Croatia. The former Napoli midfielder is now vying for a starting position in Inter’s upcoming matches. Whether he secures a spot in the starting eleven or not, Zielinski is expected to see increased playing time in the coming weeks, especially after missing out on action in early August due to injury.
The rest of Inter’s international contingent is set to return in stages. Wednesday will see the likes of Dimarco, Bastoni, Frattesi, Arnautovic, Calhanoglu, and Thuram rejoin the group. The final batch of players, including Lautaro Martinez, Mehdi Taremi, Kristjan Asllani, and Denzel Dumfries, are scheduled to return on Thursday.
