Inter Milan begin their Serie A campaign with a home opener against Torino at the iconic San Siro on Monday.
It’s a new chapter for the Nerazzurri, with head coach Cristian Chivu set for his touchline debut after taking the reins this summer.
Federico Dimarco is set to start after shaking off discomfort in last week’s Olympiacos friendly. Inter’s midfield faces changes due to Hakan Calhanoglu’s suspension and doubts over Davide Frattesi’s fitness following hernia surgery; Petar Sucic could make his first Serie A start in Calhanoglu’s holding role.
New signings this window include Luis Henrique, Petar Sucic, Andy Diouf and Ange-Yoan Bonny – though Chivu is expected to largely stick with the established starting XI for maximum stability. Reports indicate the club is still in pursuit of further reinforcements before the transfer window closes, including Udinese centre-back Oumar Solet and a dynamic midfielder.
Inter boast a formidable home record against Torino with eleven wins and one draw in their last twelve Serie A meetings.
Lautaro Martinez’s strong pre-season form makes him a focal point in attack. No major absences besides Calhanoglu and Frattesi (fitness test pending) are expected.
Inter predicted XI: Sommer; Pavard, de Vrij, Bastoni; Dumfries, Barella, Sucic, Mkhitaryan, Dimarco; Thuram, Martinez.
Inter host Torino at San Siro on Monday, August 25th, 2025, at 19:45 BST.
The match will be broadcast live by multiple global outlets, with Italian audiences able to follow on DAZN and Sky Sport.
