APPIANO GENTILE – Inter's first training session ahead of the league game against Juventus (Sunday evening in Turin) lasted 90 minutes. The squad began with some fitness work, before moving onto intensive ball work – drills aimed at developing ball possession – and finally a mini game with tactical elements. Cristian Chivu and Fredy Guarin trained with their team-mates, while Ricardo Alvarez and Dejan Stankovic did individual sessions to recover fitness. Julio Cesar had a personalised strengthening session in the gym, while Wesley Sneijder underwent physiotherapy. Lorenzo Crisetig is with the Primavera team in London for tomorrow's NextGen Series semi-final.
The week's second training session takes place tomorrow morning, as ever at the Centro Sportivo Angelo Moratti.
