**Charlotte, NC** – Inter Milan is using the FIFA Club World Cup as an opportunity to recover from a devastating 5-0 loss to Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League final, the worst defeat in the club’s history in the competition. The Italian side is looking to rebuild its confidence on the international stage, with their upcoming match against Fluminense a crucial step in that journey.

Following the Champions League debacle, Simone Inzaghi departed for Al-Hilal, replaced by former Inter player Christian Chivu. The squad has also undergone changes, with the additions of Croatian midfielder Petar Sucic and Brazilian forward Luís Henrique. Several players returning from loan spells, like Francesco Pio Esposito, have also bolstered the team.

Inter’s journey in the Club World Cup has been uneven. They drew against Monterrey and narrowly defeated Urawa Red Diamonds. However, a dominant 2-0 victory over River Plate in their last group stage match showed signs of recovery.

In a boost for their semi-final clash against Fluminense, Marcus Thuram is set to return from injury. The forward, who has 18 goals and nine assists this season, will likely partner with Lautaro Martínez in attack.
