Inter Draw 1-1 With Milan in Perth as Chivu Prioritises Fitness

A heavy head knock to Yann Bisseck has made player welfare the overriding concern as the club ramps up pre‑season work.

Overview

  • The Derby della Madonnina in Perth finished 1-1 after Federico Dimarco put Inter ahead and Christopher Nkunku levelled from a late penalty.
  • Head coach Cristian Chivu said match results are secondary to structured training and that the side grew into the game after early problems with pressing and rushed passing.
  • Yann Bisseck suffered a heavy blow to the back of the head in a collision, required on-field assistance and was substituted with his condition being monitored by club medics.
  • Chivu used the friendly to give minutes to returning and younger players, noting Benjamin Pavard, Alessandro Bastoni, Carlos Augusto, Pio and Bonny have all been involved in the build-up.
  • Inter will conclude the summer tour with further friendlies before returning home to continue fitness work ahead of the new Serie A campaign later this month.
