Inter vice-president Javier Zanetti insists that Alexis Sanchez is an "important member of the squad," as they are waiting for the Chilean to return from injury.
After scoring for Inter in his first start for the club, Sanchez was injured playing for his national team and Zanetti reveals they are planning ahead with the Manchester United-owned forward in mind.
“Unfortunately, he injured himself when he just had become physically fit,” the Argentinian told CDF. “He showed a great desire; in Barcelona he had played very well. He played a great first half.
“It’s a pity that he got injured, but injuries are part of football. We are waiting for him, first for him to recover in the best way possible and then to represent that fundamental element we expect him to bring.”
Inter duo Lautaro Martinez and Romelu Lukaku have been in great form this season, scoring 14 times between them in Serie A so far. Tonight, they prepare to face Borussia Dortmund in the Champions League, whilst Zanetti reveals the possibilities to see all three of them play together in the future.
“Alexis is a very important player, with great experience and a great personality. He is very quick and might be pivotal at any moment. He is important to us, because we have strikers who are all of different categories. When they play together, it works very well.
“They can easily play together, because they are all very intelligent players. They help the team a lot. With all the games we must play, there are no one who is back-up or reserves, everyone feels important and this is very important.
“All of them are important, but none is more important than the others. This makes the difference in the long run.”
Inter can make a statement in Europe by beating Dortmund in Germany tonight and go three points clear of their rivals from the Bundesliga in Group F.
