Luciano Spalletti’s Azzurri, featuring a number of fresher faces, picked up a 2-0 win at the Red Bull Arena this evening.

Yann Sommer caused concerns at Inter when he was forced off in the second half of Switzerland’s friendly with Denmark, and he returned to the Lombardy capital today to undergo tests with his club. The hope is that he only picked up a minor issue and will be in action soon.

On the other side of Milan, concerns were also high for the Rossoneri after Simon Kjaer limped off the pitch in that Switzerland-Denmark friendly, but he was luckier than his Inter counterpart, avoiding any possible issues.

Marcus Thuram was heavily criticised by L’Equipe following France’s 2-0 friendly loss to Germany, being accused of being ‘isolated’ as he was awarded a rating of 3, showing his miserable evening for Les Bleus.

Corriere di Bergamo summarised a confusing clash seemingly between Ruslan Malinovskyi and his former teammate Aleksei Miranchuk, which stemmed from Atalanta’s celebration of their player’s goal in Russia’s friendly against Serbia.
