Inter Milan started preparations earlier today for the upcoming UEFA Champions League clash against Bodo/Glimt.
According to Sky Sport Italia via FCInterNews, the Nerazzurri didn’t train at Pinetina this morning.
Cristian Chivu couldn’t replicate his predecessor’s feat and guide Inter to a top-eight finish in the league phase.
Instead, Inter will continue their European journey in the knockout playoff round against Bodo/Glimt.
Indeed, the first leg takes place in Norway on Wednesday.
Despite being heavily fancied to reach the next round, Inter cannot afford to take anything for granted.
Bodo/Glimt took several huge scalps in the league phase, beating Atletico Madrid and Manchester City, among others.
Furthermore, synthetic pitch at the Aspmyra Stadion poses a unique challenge, giving the Norwegian side an added advantage.
Therefore, Chivu is eager to have his squad adapt quickly to the unusual conditions.
With that in mind, this morning’s training session took place in Interello on a state-of-the-art synthetic pitch.
Meanwhile, Inter will take the field in high spirits after beating arch-rivals Juventus in a controversial Derby d’Italia on Saturday.
