InterNationals: fixture details for the Nerazzurri

MILAN – The second international break of the season is already upon us, with 15 Inter players called up for international duty by their respective nations.

The stand-out match of the break will involve Italy, who take on Spain in the UEFA Nations League semi-finals at San Siro.

Federico Dimarco has been called up to the Italy squad for the first time, joining Nicolo Barella and Alessandro Bastoni.

Elsewhere, Inter team-mates Milan Skriniar, Ivan Perisic and Marcelo Brozovic will line up against each other for once as Croatia and Slovakia face off. And there’ll be more friendly fire on the South American front, as Lautaro Martinez and Joaquin Correa take on Matias Vecino in Argentina v Uruguay.

Inter will return to action on Saturday 16 October at 18:00 CEST, when they take on Lazio at the Stadio Olimpico. This will be quickly followed by a Champions League group stage clash with Sheriff Tiraspol at San Siro on Tuesday 19 October.
