AC Milan vs. Inter Milan: Confirmed Pre-Season Friendly Lineups

AC Milan and Inter Milan have announced their starting XI for the upcoming pre-season friendly, the first Derby della Madonnina of the 2026-27 season. The match is set to take place in Perth, Australia on Wednesday afternoon.

The friendly encounter between Milan and Inter is scheduled to commence at 12:00 BST (19:00 local time in Perth).

Under manager Ruben Amorim, AC Milan will field a team that blends emerging talent with experienced players for this clash against the Nerazzurri. Due to extended breaks following the World Cup, key players such as Mike Maignan and Christian Pulisic are unavailable. This provides opportunities for players like Lorenzo Torriani in goal, Yunus Musah in the midfield, and Alphadjo Cisse and Francesco Camarda in attack.

Notable signings and established stars, including Goncalo Ramos, Rafael Leao, Luka Modric, and Alexis Saelemaekers, are listed among the substitutes.

Inter Milan, managed by Cristian Chivu, presents a lineup featuring familiar faces like Alessandro Bastoni, Federico Dimarco, and Nicolo Barella. However, they are opting for a youthful strike partnership upfront with Pio Esposito and the 18-year-old Jamal Iddrissou. The squad is notably without Lautaro Martinez and Marcus Thuram, but otherwise, Chivu has a full roster to choose from.
