Lautaro Martinez starts Inter’s friendly match against Parma, but as expected, Chelsea-bound Romelu Lukaku is nowhere to be seen.
It kicks off at the Stadio Tardini at 18.00 UK time.
The Nerazzurri announced their line-up, including Lautaro Martinez’s first pre-season match since returning from Argentina’s triumphant Copa America campaign.
He has been linked with Tottenham Hotspur, but Inter are already facing huge protests from their supporters over selling Lukaku and Achraf Hakimi.
However, Lukaku is not even on the bench, as he is on the verge of a €115m transfer to Chelsea and could have his medical as early as tomorrow.
Italy internationals Nicolò Barella and Alessandro Bastoni also get their first pre-season appearances, but Hakan Calhanoglu is out with a slight muscular problem.
Enzo Maresca’s Parma are missing veteran goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon.
