Inter Milan defender Francesco Acerbi could return to the fold tomorrow when the club takes on Las Palmas in a friendly encounter
This will be the Nerazzurri’s three test of pre-season after beating Lugano 3-2 and Pergolettese 2-1.
The match takes place at the Stadio Dino Manuzzi in Cesena and kicks off at 19:30 CET.
According to La Gazzetta dello Sport via FcInterNews, the Nerazzurri fans could witness Acerbi’s return to action tomorrow.
The 36-year-old sustained an injury at the end of May that prevented him from taking part in Italy’s Euro 2024 campaign.
Luciano Spalletti had initially named the veteran in his preliminary squad. However, the player had to withdraw due to the knock which required surgical intervention.
But as the pink newspaper reveals, Acerbi returned to training in the past few days. Therefore, he could feature in tomorrow’s friendly test against Las Palmas.

This occasion could also allow the returning Italy block to gain their first minutes. Nicolo Barella, Davide Frattesi, Matteo Darmian, Federico Dimarco and Alessandro Bastoni will be looking to put their Euro 2024 woes behind them as soon as possible.
However, the source doesn’t expect the five Azzurri stars to be in the starting lineup.
Instead, Mehdi Taremi and Joaquin Correa should once again lead the line in Inzaghi’s 3-5-2 formation.
The report also tips Piotr Zielinski to start in midfield for the second match in a row.
In addition to the Polish star, fellow new signing Josep Martinez will be in goal in the hopes of impressing once more.
