Inter Milan resumed training today after suffering a gut-wrenching UEFA Champions League (UCL) elimination at the hands of Bodo/Glimt.
According to Sky Sport Italia via FCInter1908, the team held a calm meeting this morning despite the disappointment of last night’s defeat.
Cristian Chivu failed to overcome the first knockout hurdle, as the Norwegian champions thumped the Nerazzurri in the playoffs.
Indeed, Kjetil Knutsen’s men won both legs by an aggregate score of 5-2.
Therefore, Inter will not compete in the Round of 16 for the first time since the 2020/21 season.
Inter Milan Players Calm in Training After UCL Fiasco
Chivu’s charges gathered at the Pinetina this morning to start preparations for the upcoming Serie A clash against Genoa.
Despite yesterday’s heartbreak at San Siro, the players looked calm and determined to put the Champions League disappointment behind them.
Meanwhile, star playmaker Hakan Calhanoglu is facing a race against time to make the matchday squad.
Indeed, the 32-year-old has missed Inter’s last three matches in all competitions due to a calf injury.
However, there’s an outside chance for the skilled midfielder to at least make the bench on Saturday.
