Club World Cup 2025: Monterrey-Inter, the likely lineups

Inter Milan makes its debut at the 2025 World Club World Cup: the Nerazzurri’s match against Mexico’s Monterrey is scheduled for 3 a.m. Italian time and is valid for the first round of the tournament’s group stage. Cristian Chivu makes his debut on the bench and his primary task will be to make the team forget the bitterness of the Champions League final lost to PSG. The two clubs are both in Group E with River Plate and Urawa Reds.

At the Rose Bowl in Pasadena Inter will field a 3-5-2 in which the two new signings Luis Henrique and Sucic could make their debut immediately. In attack the Lautaro Martinez’Salvatore Esposito pairing (Thuram is expected to start on the bench), in front of Sommer are Pavard, De Vrij and Bastoni. Calhanoglu, Dumfries, Bisseck and Taremi unavailable.
