"From now on, the workload lessens a little; on Saturday, we start off our league campaign and I think with the right amount of work we'll arrive in the best possible shape," Inter manager Simone Inzaghi said.
"We've done a lot of good work, some players arrived later, [Milan] Skriniar only got going after preparations had started, and now [Marcelo] Brozovic has a little issue but we hope he'll be fine for Saturday.
"Everyone's physical condition is improving. This evening, we kept the ball well in possession against a top-quality side," he continued.
"Now, we look to Saturday because we want to hit the ground running and start off in the best possible way at Lecce".
The last meeting between Lecce and Inter in a league game was on 19 January 2020.
The two teams played to a 1-1 draw in a match which was played at the Stadio Comunale Via del Mare.
