Andrea Ranocchia was hard at work on Friday in the hope Antonio Conte will pick him to start for Inter against Hellas Verona.

The Nerazzurri host Ivan Juric’s side tomorrow and know they need just eight points from their final six games to become Serie A champions.

Inter have picked up back-to-back draws in their last two matches away to Napoli and Spezia, but they remain 10 points clear of AC Milan at the top.

Ranocchia did not start either of those games but he is still giving his utmost in training, as shown by a tweet from the defender.
