Inter vs. Monza team newsÂ
Inter
Chivu should have almost a full clean bill of health ahead of Saturday's opener.
Marcus Thuram will likely be available having returned to group training on Monday, while Lautaro Martinez and Stones are also in contention.
Spence is available but is unlikely to start given he only just joined the group following his move from Tottenham.
Predicted XI: Martinez, Bisseck, Akanji, Bastoni, Diouf, Barella, Çalhanoglu, Sucic, Dimarco, Martinez, Esposito
Monza
Juric, on the other hand, will have several players missing through suspension and injury.
Henrikh Mkhitaryan, Demba Thiam and Dany Mota are all unavailable through suspension.
Captain Matteo Pessina will also miss the clash following news that he will be sidelined for three to four months with a serious knee injury.
Previous XI: Pizzignacco, Kouadio, Delli Carri, Carboni, Birindelli, Akinsanmiro, Foe Ondoa, Mangas, Calpani, Forson, Cutrone

Inter vs. Monza prediction
A home clash against a newly promoted side without their captain is an appetising opener for Inter, and they should have far too much quality for Monza.
Prediction: Inter 3 -0 Monza
