APPIANO GENTILE - Inter completed their preparations for Saturday night's Italian Super Cup match against Roma with a training session at the Centro Sportivo Angelo Moratti late this afternoon. After a warm-up, the Nerazzurri called up for tomorrow's game performed a series of technical exercises and played a training game on a small-sized pitch.

Another group of players trained this morning in front of numerous fans who were given permission to watch from the stand. Benedetti (Primavera), Burdisso, Gallinetta (Primavera), Mancini, Muntari, Natalino (Primavera), Nwankwo, Obinna, Orlandoni and Rivas performed warm-up, technical-aerobic and possession drills before finishing off with a practice match. Alibec, Santon and Suazo performed strengthening exercises in the gym and on the pitch, followed by technique drills with the ball. 

Thiago Motta underwent a check-up performed by professor Richard Steadman, who operated on the Brazilian's right knee when he was a Barcelona player.
