Chivu had the squad back on the field at Appiano Gentile on Thursday morning, three days out from Udinese at San Siro on Monday night. Gazzetta dello Sport reports a rebuilt back line for that match, and Sky Sport has Federico Dimarco, who missed the Bernabéu, close to full training. The club itself has said nothing about Monday's team — but it did tie two more women's players to 2029.

Gazzetta: Stones in the middle, Akanji to right back

Gazzetta dello Sport reports that John Stones will start at the center of the defense against Udinese on the strength of his second half at the Bernabéu, with Manuel Akanji shifting to right back in place of Yann Bisseck and Alessandro Bastoni on the left.

The paper's case is the Madrid numbers: 23 completed passes out of 23, one foul, and four aerial duels, more than any other Inter player on the night, two of them won. Inter have conceded five goals in four matches this season.
