Kovacic Cagliari

Good news for the Nerazzurri team as Mateo Kovacic and Yuto Nagatomo have both trained as normal ahead of the game, both players had been thought to be doubts for the match, but Kovacic should start ahead of Yann M’Vila in midfield while Nagatomo has returned from a shoulder injury and is in contention to replace Hugo Campagnaro at right-back.

According to Tuttomercatoweb: although coach Roberto Mancini will have both players available for his first home league game since returning to the San Siro, he will again be without Brazilian pair Jonathan and Hernanes, Full-back Jonathan has been out since October and Hernanes is out since the last 2 games with an adductor injury.

It is hoped though that both could return within the next few weeks to help Inter to return to the top-half of the table following a difficult start to the season.
