Josep Martinez, Piotr Zielinski, and Mehdi Taremi will all start for Inter Milan in a friendly against Las Palmas.
This according to Italian broadcaster SportMediaset, via FCInterNews. They also report that striker Marko Arnautovic will be out of the Nerazzurri’s squad for this evening’s preseason match.
This evening, Inter will play their third friendly match of the preseason period.
The Nerazzurri have already taken on the likes of Lugano and Pergolettese in friendly matches.
Now, it will be the turn of La Liga outfit Las Palmas.
It has now been two weeks since Inter started their preseason training camp. And moreover, the players have started to filter back into training from their post-EURO 2024 holidays.
Therefore, with each friendly Inter are aiming to look a little more like the team who will kick off their Serie A season against Genoa next month.
Martinez, Zielinski & Taremi To Start For Inter Vs Las Palmas – Arnautovic Misses Out
One of the key tasks of preseason for Inter will be integrating some new signings.
And in that sense, the friendly matches will be key.
Iranian international Mehdi Taremi has been in training for Inter since the very start of the preseason camp. He has already started in each of the team’s previous two friendly matches.
Taremi found the back of the net twice against Lugano. He also scored against Pergolettese.
And Mediaset report that the 32-year-old will once again be in the starting eleven in this evening’s match against Las Palmas.
The same is true of Inter’s two other big name summer signings.
Midfielder Zielinski has now be in training for Inter for over a week after an early exit from the Euros with Poland and subsequent vacation.
The 30-year-old former Napoli midfielder had already started against Pergolettese. And according to Mediaset he will once again be in the lineup this evening.
The same is true of goalkeeper Martinez.
The 26-year-old is another player who’s been part of Inter’s training camp from the very start since completing his move from Genoa.
Martinez has started in each of Inter’s previous two friendlies of preseason, with Yann Sommer still on holiday.
And Mediaset report that Martinez will once again start against Las Palmas.
Meanwhile, the Italian internationals in Inter’s squad have been in training for a few days now. They are likely to come on as substitutes in this evening’s friendly.
Lastly, Mediaset report, striker Marko Arnautovic will miss this evening’s match.
The 35-year-old’s vacation after the Euros with Austria is over. However, he has yet to return to training due to mild illness.
