APPIANO GENTILE - A visit from Hernan Crespo and the return of Wesley Sneijder to full training: that was the main news from this morning's session at the Centro Sportivo Angelo Moratti, where Claudio Ranieri's Inter had their second workout of the week. The Nerazzurri are preparing for the Serie A clash with Novara, scheduled for a 15:00 kick-off at the Stadio Giuseppe Meazza in Milan's San Siro district on Sunday 12 February 2012.
Today's session lasted 90 minutes and saw Sneijder involved with his team-mates for the first time since taking a knock to his leg in last Wednesday's match against Palermo. After a warm-up, the players were divided into groups to do technical and tactical drills working on specific skills and then ended with a practice match on a small pitch.
Besides Sneijder the following Nerazzurri all trained with the rest of the team: Ricardo Alvarez (2nd day), Diego Forlan (5th day), Dejan Stankovic (4th day), Juan (2nd day) and, after working separately yesterday, also Giampaolo Pazzini.
Young goalkeeper Raffaele Delle Vedove (born in 1994), who is part of Sergio Zanetti's Juniores-Berretti squad, joined the first team today as Paolo Tornaghi is still in the United States with Chicago Fire.
Fredy Guarin and Walter Samuel carried out individual rehabilitation work.
Lorenzo Crisetig is currently with Andrea Stramaccioni's Primavera in Viareggio for the "Coppa Carnevale".
Tomorrow morning the Nerazzurri will be back in Appiano Gentile for their third session of the week.
