What happened. Chivu said Thuram and Jones could help off the bench in the Serie A match at Cagliari, with Jones possibly debuting after joining from Liverpool.

• Inter won domestic double last season and beat Monza 4-1.
• Cagliari beat Parma 1-0 in their opener.
• Spence still not fully fit after England's World Cup.

“Jones has already shown what kind of player he is, he brings a certain quality and could give us a hand today.”

— Cristian Chivu

Transfer deadline is Tuesday September 1, with possible further Inter additions.
