France Midfielder In Focus As 12 Inter Milan Players Stay At Appiano Gentile During International Break | OneFootball

Andy Diouf is one of the 12 Inter Milan first-team stars set to stay at Appiano Gentile during September’s international break.

According to Gazzetta dello Sport via FCInterNews, all eyes will be on the French midfielder during the pause.

Inter signed Andy Diouf from Lens for a reported fee of €20 million shortly before their Serie A opener.

Despite joining the club relatively late, the 22-year-old made a late cameo appearance in a 5-0 rout of Torino.

However, Cristian Chivu left him on the bench against Udinese.

Diouf remains an unknown entity despite being a permanent first-team fixture at Lens over the past two years.

Indeed, he must adapt to the new surroundings, not to mention the tactical demands and intensity of life in Serie A.

Therefore, the two-week hiatus from club football should help him settle at Inter.

In addition to Diouf, Luis Henrique and Ange-Yoan Bonny will stay in Italy and continue their adaptation.
