Francesco Pio Esposito is expected to start in the Inter attack against Urawa Red Diamonds in the second match of the 2025 Club World Cup.
It kicks off on Saturday, June 21, at 12:00 local time (21:00 CET) at the Lumen Field in Seattle.
The Nerazzurri must cope without Yann Bisseck, Hakan Calhanoglu, Denzel Dumfries, Davide Frattesi, Marcus Thuram and Piotr Zielinski.

Cristian Chivu’s men were held to a 1-1 draw by Mexican side Monterrey in their opening Club World Cup game earlier this week.
Italian sources, including Tuttosport and Gazzetta, claim that Stefan de Vrij will get the nod in central defence, replacing Francesco Acerbi, while Benjamin Pavard and Alessandro Bastoni are confirmed in a three-man defence.
Federico Dimarco and Carlos Augusto battle for a starting spot on the left flank and the same is true of Nicola Zalewski and Henrikh Mkhitaryan in the middle of the park.
If Zalewski starts, then the Inter line-up will likely be a 3-4-2-1 formation with the Poland international joining Pio Esposito behind the lone striker Lautaro Martinez.

The best way to live stream the Club World Cup is with DAZN, which is offering a free service this summer, which can also be upgraded to a premium service. DAZN’s free offer means ads during games, and no replays or extended highlights, but it’s still a pretty tempting deal that will surely get Blues fans and others signing up quickly.
Inter (3-4-2-1): Sommer, Pavard, De Vrij, Bastoni; Luis Henrique, Barella, Asllani, Dimarco (Carlos Augusto); Zalewski (Mkhitaryan), Pio Esposito; Lautaro.
Urawa (4-2-3-1): Nishikawa, Ishiara, Boza, Hohibraten, Naganuma; Yasui, Gustafson; Kaneko, Watanabe, Savio; Matsuo.
