MILAN - Inter have been decimated by injuries and it's little wonder. The Nerazzurri - alongside Lazio - have played more football than anyone else in 2012/13: 52 matches. Inter have played eight times more than their rivals in the European places, AC Milan and Napoli, nine more than Udinese, 14 more than Roma, and 15 more than Fiorentina.
Zanetti, who got injured yesterday at Palermo, is second in terms of most club appearances in 2012/13 with 48. Lazio's Hernanes leads the way with 49, with his team-mate Ledesma on 47. Zanetti is out in front in terms of minutes played however. His 4,117 minutes on the pitch, put him comfortably ahead of Juve's Barzagli (4,053). Another Inter player, Samir Handanovic, is third on the list, having recorded 4,030 minutes.
