Monza face off against Inter in both teams’ final pre-season friendly before the 2025-26 season officially begins.
Inter have seven first-team players unavailable for the match. Davide Frattesi continues to train individually away from the rest of the squad whilst Yann Bisseck and Piotr Zielinski, who have recently returned from injury, remain sidelined as a precaution.

Tomas Palacios, Nicola Zalewski, Hakan Calhanoglu and Denzel Dumfries are all suffering from slight fatigue and are therefore not present in the Nerazzurri team.
Young forward Francesco Pio Esposito is in the starting line-up and will play in attack alongside new signing Ange-Yoan Bonny.
