Cristian Chivu has given his Inter Milan players a day off ahead of Wednesday’s Serie A clash against Lecce.
According to Sky Sport via FCInterNews, the squad will not meet on the training pitch tomorrow.
Napoli held Inter to a dramatic 2-2 draw on Sunday night, coming back from a deficit twice to avoid defeat at San Siro.
Despite failing to beat the Partenopei in a third consecutive home meeting, Chivu’s men have preserved a three-point lead at the top of the table.
