Ex Arsenal & Man United Veteran Declares Inter Milan ‘Will Be Ready For The Start Of The Season'
Henrikh Mkhitaryan is confident that Inter Milan 'will be ready for the start of the season.' The 36-year-old spoke in the mixed zone after the Nerazzurri's friendly win over Monaco, via FCInterNews. Inter Milan are just a couple of weeks away from the start of the 2025-26 season. The Nerazzurri kick their Serie A campaign off by hosting Torino on August 25th. It has been a bit of a compressed preseason training period for Inter. After a long and gruelling season which saw Inter reach the Champions League final, the team also played in the Club World Cup this summer. Therefore, that meant that there was less time in which to start preseason training. This could naturally lead to some doubts as to whether or not Inter will have been able to reach the right level of physical condition for what will undoubtedly be another tough season. However, Nerazzurri midfielder Henrikh Mkhitaryan has few doubts. Henrikh Mkhitaryan: 'Inter Milan Will be Ready' For Start Of New Season PASADENA, CALIFORNIA – JUNE 17: Henrikh Mkhitaryan #22 of FC Internazionale Milano warms up prior to the FIFA Club World Cup 2025 group E match between CF Monterrey and FC Internazionale Milano at Rose Bowl Stadium on June 17, 2025 in Pasadena, California. (Photo by) On Friday evening, Inter played a friendly match against Monaco. They won the match despite a first half red card for Hakan Calhanoglu. After the match, midfielder Henrikh Mkhitaryan noted that 'it wasn't an easy match, because we were down to ten men.' 'But we showed character and determination,' the Armenian insisted. 'We wanted to win this match. And fortunately we did.' 'It wasn't easy because Monaco are a great team with talented young players,' Mkhitaryan said. 'But we defended very compactly after the sending-off, and I think we played very well.' 'I think maybe Monaco were playing a little more relaxed psychologically. Thinking about the fact that they were playing with a numerical advantage.' 'That's football,' said Mkhitaryan. 'You can't predict what will happen.' 'We played until the end. And we won.' Then, the 36-year-old former Arsenal and Manchester United midfielder added that 'we still have time to prepare.' 'And we'll do everything to be ready for the start of the season.'
