Inter tour back on
Sports minister Richard Caborn said Inter Milan will fly to England on Sunday for their pre-season tour.
Inter were criticised for scrapping the four-game tour over security fears, but Caborn has since held talks with Italian sports minister Mario Pescante.
"Pescante spoke to the Italian football association and they made representations to Inter," said Caborn.
"They came back saying all things being equal the tour would be on this morning. They're flying out on Sunday."
The Italians said there had been a misunderstanding and insisted they had taken their initial stance so as not to "further stretch the already severely occupied security services".
Signor Giancarlo Aragona, the Italian ambassador in London, told BBC Sport that the tour would go ahead.
He added Inter had been involved in discussions with security services over the safety of the trip.
"There was some confusion, they wanted to make sure the conditions on both sides were correct. They wanted to check the feasibility," he said.
Inter are scheduled to play Leicester at the Walkers Stadium on Monday, Palace on Wednesday and Norwich on Friday night at Carrow Road.
They will then rounding off their brief tour at Portsmouth on Sunday.
Leicester were investigating the possibility of compensation given Inter's cancellation would have cost them over £250,000.
Portsmouth had already sold 12,500 tickets for their game and Crystal Palace had organised the fixture to celebrate their centenary.
All four clubs expressed their anger at Inter's decision, with Norwich's chief executive Neil Doncaster accusing them of "giving in to terrorists".
We'll lose in excess of £250,000, which, for a Championship club, is quite a lot of money

Leicester chief executive Tim Davies said on Sunday he had not given up hope of Monday's game taking place.
If the match does not go ahead, Davies said the Foxes could seek damages from Inter of around £250,000.
Palace chairman Simon Jordan and Portsmouth counterpart Milan Mandaric previously registered their unhappiness with Inter.
"You have to take into consideration people's safety but they are not going to be in the West End (of London)," said Jordan.
I don't think Inter's decision does anything for their image
"They could have flown into Gatwick Airport and stayed in Croydon, miles away from anywhere considered to be a danger area."
Mandaric added: "No directive has come from the Home Office advising it is unsafe to travel and Portsmouth is a provincial city with lovely people.
"We are sad as a club about this decision but for me the real sorrow is for our fans who have looked forward and paid for this curtain raiser relishing the chance of a big Italian side coming to Fratton Park."
Culture secretary Tessa Jowell said Inter's decision to pull out would mystify football fans.
"Inter Milan's decision will, I'm sure, baffle millions of football fans who will be undeterred in supporting their teams on the terraces when the new season starts," she said.
