Inter team news

Inter Milan come into this match with a lengthy injury list. Key players Denzel Dumfries, Hakan Calhanoglu, Marcus Thuram, Davide Frattesi, Yann Bisseck, Benjamin Pavard, and Piotr Zielinski are all sidelined and unavailable for selection.

This leaves Chivu with limited options, particularly in midfield and defense, forcing him to rely on the likes of Nicolò Barella, Henrikh Mkhitaryan, and Alessandro Bastoni to anchor the team.

Despite these absences, Inter retain attacking quality in Lautaro Martinez and young forward Esposito.

River Plate team news

River Plate also face significant selection challenges. Three players are suspended for this match: Kevin Castano, Enzo Perez and Giuliano Galoppo.

Sebastian Driussi suffered a serious ankle sprain in the group stage and is expected to miss the remainder of the tournament, a major blow to River’s attacking plans.

Despite the setbacks, River’s deep squad—bolstered by young talent Franco Mastantuono—remains competitive as they look to secure progression to the knockout rounds.
