Inter goalkeeper Martinez has been injured in recent weeks and did not take part in the friendly, missing the opportunity to show off.

With the end of last season and the start of the new year, there is a sense of rejuvenation and renewal at Inter, starting from the bench.

If some departments have been refreshed through sales and new acquisitions, like the midfield with Sucic, the wings with Luis Henrique, and the attack with Bonny, the goal has not been touched by the market, but this does not rule out the possibility of some news.

Yann Sommer will turn 37 in December and despite still being an extremely reliable goalkeeper, the age factor raises some doubts in the management. There is already a goalkeeper in the team on whom a significant investment has been made and who has always responded whenever called upon last season, namely Josep Martinez.

However, 10 appearances in all competitions during the season are not enough to determine whether a goalkeeper is capable of being the starter in a big city like Milan.

These summer games would be crucial to showcase one’s qualities, gain minutes and confidence, improve understanding with the defensive line, and above all, create doubts for the coach who is forced to make a choice.

Unfortunately, the Spanish goalkeeper has been injured and is missing an important opportunity to compete for a potential starting position next season. What is certain, however, is that regardless of who the Romanian coach chooses as the trusted number 1, there will be more rotation between the two goalkeepers, given the many games to be played.
