Inter will return to the field tomorrow in Champions League to face Arsenal at a sold-out San Siro. Kick-off is scheduled for 21, the Nerazzurri and the Gunners are both on 7 points with two wins and a draw. Both teams therefore have the chance to remain undefeated and make an important contribution to the qualification process.

"We know where we are working well, let's not forget that we have seven wins and a draw in the last eight - Simone Inzaghi makes his debut in the press conference - After the last match I congratulated the team because we did what I asked. We gave almost nothing to Venezia, except for one chance on a misplaced shot by their striker. The only flaw was not closing the matter and arriving at the 97th minute still at 1-0. Arsenal? We know what awaits us, we have two very difficult matches. The first is this one, in our stadium. We have spent a lot and we have two more to go until the break, very important ones. We will try to play two great matches". At least initially Thuram could rest, giving space to the Taremi-Martinez duo. Some problems, however, for Arnautovic. "He has had an infection in one eye for ten days. This morning he trained better and so we will evaluate. He is working well, like Taremi and Correa. Lautaro and Thuram have recovered quite well, Mehdi is certainly fresher. Tomorrow I will choose the best - the coach replies again - Greater turnover in the Champions League than in Serie A? I don't think it will be so robust, I think game by game. Unfortunately it happened to have three big matches in the league immediately after the Champions League, so we make some assessments. Now we are focused on the Champions League match, it would be convenient for us to win both matches between Arsenal and Napoli... My future in England? I don't deny that there was an opportunity, but I was happy at Lazio then and I'm very happy now at Inter". Also present at the press conference was Matthew Darmian, who could play on the left wing tomorrow to give Dimarco a rest, who has been used a lot recently by Inzaghi also due to the forced absence of Carlos Augusto. "There must be a fierce desire, a great desire to win again - says Darmian in relation to the criticism regarding an alleged waning hunger in Inter after the championship won last season -. I know this group of lads well and from the way they work I have no doubts about the desire we have. Marking Saka? We are talking about an important player, but Arsenal is a very important collective and we will have to work as a team if we want to get an important result".
