Latest team news for Inter Milan vs Al Ittihad
Inter Milan will be without Mehdi Taremi, the summer signing who scored five goals in three friendlies before suffering a thigh injury and being sidelined until the end of the month.
They also couldn't call up Tajon Buchanan, who is currently participating in the Copa America with the Canadian national team. Hakan Calhanoglu, after starting from the bench in the draw against Pisa, is likely to be included in the starting lineup, while Davide Frattesi is striving for his first start.
Al Ittihad are also missing a key full-back, Ahmed Bamsaud, who is still recovering from a cruciate ligament injury sustained in December 2023. Pro League veteran Abderrazak Hamdallah, who scored 19 goals last season, is a potential match-winning candidate for the visitors on Wednesday night.

Latest match preview for Inter Milan vs Al Ittihad
Inter Milan are enjoying a highly confident pre-season, thanks to their resounding success in the 2023-24 season. Simone Inzaghi's team finished Serie A 19 points ahead of second-placed teams, winning their 20th Scudetto title.
Under Inzaghi's leadership, Inter demonstrated remarkable progress with 104 wins in 158 matches under his management, losing only 26. Lautaro Martinez, a potential Ballon D'or contender, scored 24 goals in 33 Serie A games last season and continued to shine with the Argentine national team at the Copa America, contributing to their championship victory.
Despite losing two experienced players, Alexis Sanchez and Juan Cuadrado, in this summer's transfer window, Inter Milan maintained good form and remained unbeaten throughout the summer. However, they had to rely on a last-minute equalizer from Yann Aurel Bisseck to avoid defeat against Pisa.
Conversely, Al Ittihad, after winning the Saudi Pro League last season, has struggled this season. The team finished the 2023-24 season in fifth place and failed to qualify for the AFC Champions League. Although the arrival of Karim Benzema was expected to make a difference, the Frenchman only scored nine goals in 21 games and did not live up to high expectations.
Moussa Diaby's £52 million signing from Aston Villa was a highlight of this summer, but Al Ittihad are still searching for their first win of the summer after a series of defeats against Spanish teams like Elche, Sevilla and Real Betis. Laurent Blanc, Al Ittihad's new manager, is working to bring the team back to the top after a stint in Qatar.
Based on Inter Milan's current form and thorough preparation, the Serie A team is likely to continue its impressive performance and win against Al Ittihad in the upcoming match at Monza.
