Inter Milan continued their preparations for the upcoming Serie A season with a high-intensity training session at the Suning Training Centre in Appiano Gentile, shifting focus toward their final pre-season friendly against Real Betis.
Preparation Shifts to the San Nicola Test
The Nerazzurri are gearing up to face La Liga side Real Betis at the Stadio San Nicola in Bari. According to club updates, the fixture serves as the team’s final competitive tune-up before the Italian top-flight campaign kicks off. The training session on the training grounds marked the second full-group workout of the week for the squad, following an initial full-roster session at the facility.
Reporting from FCInterNews indicates that captain Lautaro Martínez and his teammates worked under the direction of Chivu and his coaching staff during the morning session. Squad depth remains largely intact as the team approaches the fixture, with midfielder Yanis Massolin serving as the sole notable absentee from the main group as he continued working through an individual recovery program.
