Inter Milan Set To Begin Preseason Training Next Week, With Wantaway Midfielder Scheduled For Earlier Return
As reported in today's newspaper edition of La Gazzetta dello Sport, and via FCInterNews.it, Christian Chivu's squad will join up on 26 July to begin physical preparations as they look to improve on last season's trophyless campaign.
Friendlies have been arranged for next month, with Inter travelling to Monte Carlo to face Monaco on 8 August, before taking on Monza four days later and finishing off with a clash against Olympiacos in Bari on 16 August.
Calhanoglu, who has been heavily linked with a departure this summer, will report back to the Appiano Gentile training centre on Wednesday in order to carry out assessments on a slight calf injury.
He will be joined by Nicola Zalewski, Benjamin Pavard, and Yann Bisseck, with the group all suffering minor injuries during Inter's Club World Cup campaign this summer.
The major absentee once the squad regroup will be midfielder Davide Frattesi, with the ex-Sassuolo man undergoing surgery and not due back until mid-August.

How to watch Manchester United vs West Ham live, stream link and start time
Ruben Amorim's first full season in charge of Manchester United — the job he originally wanted — is inching closer as Manchester United continue preseason preparations against West Ham in the 2025 Summer Series on Saturday (7 pm ET). MORE — Full list of ins and outs at all 20 Premier League clubs The Red Devils appointed Amorim back in November after Erik ten Hag was fired, but the 40-year-old Portuguese wasn't too keen to take over mid-season and instead wanted to start the job this summer. Well, Man United finished the season 15th and won just 27 points from 27 games (16th during that time) under Amorim. It's easy to see why he wanted a clean slate at Old Trafford, because now the new season is upon us and everyone is already thinking, if not saying, it: How many more defeats (14 of 27) will it take before Amorim is under real pressure to save his job? United should score more goals this season (32 in 27) after signing established Premier League stars Bryan Mbeumo and Matheus Cunha for a combined $180 million, but the problematic midfield remains unchanged, as does the shoddily patchworked defense (42 conceded in 27). Speaking of another manager who likely wanted to start his new gig in the summer, Graham Potter is set for his first full season at West Ham. Mohammed Kudus' $74-million transfer to Tottenham Hotspur leaves Potter short on attacking quality, but with the necessary funds to (finally) start piecing together his new project. So far, center back Jean-Clair Todibo ($44 million, Nice), left back El Hadji Malick Diouf ($25.5 million, Slavia Prague) and Kyle Walker-Peters (free, Southampton) have added to the team that struggled its way to a 14th-place finish last season.
