Cristian Chivu Has 12 Senior Stars Available For Inter Milan Vs Atletico Madrid Friendly | OneFootball

Inter Milan and Atletico Madrid will lock horns in a mid-season friendly on Friday, with the exhibition match set to take place in Libya.

According to Tuttosport via FCInterNews, Cristian Chivu will have 12 senior stars at his disposal for the upcoming trip to Benghazi.

With the October international break set to unfold, the 44-year-old cannot call upon his regular first-team stalwarts.

Therefore, Cristian Chivu must rely on a mix of fringe players and youth prospects for this friendly fixture.

Meanwhile, Yann Sommer, Francesco Acerbi, Yann Bisseck, Matteo Darmian, Luis Henrique, Henrikh Mkhitaryan, and Andy Diouf are also in contention.

Interestingly, former Inter Milan megastar Ronaldo Nazario will be an honored guest at Friday’s friendly in Libya.
