He has been fit for more than a month after problems with his right knee and Ernesto Valverde granted him a few minutes to play in the Spanish Cup but now Rafinha has the opportunity to solidify himself with Inter.
The Nerazzurri have confirmed that the Brazilian is physically ready and will certainly be called up for their fixture against SPAL this weekend.
According to Corriere dello Sport, he could be used on the right-wing in the trio behind Mauro Icardi. The Brazilian is left-footed, so playing him on this side will allow him to cut in and try create chances through the centre rather than relying on crosses like Antonio Candreva. These characteristics would be more than welcome, in a time when scoring has become a lot harder for the Nerazzurri. Luciano Spalletti has also previously tested Candreva behind Icardi, so these two alternate during the game, considering Rafinha can also play in the centre of midfield.
