Inter confident over Materazzi Monday 18 April, 2005
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Inter are confident that Marco Materazzi’s knee injury isn’t as serious as it first appeared.
The Italian international looked in agony after he fell awkwardly during the 2-0 win over Cagliari on Sunday.
But the Nerazzurri medical officer, Franco Combi, believes Materazzi isn’t set for a lengthy spell on the sidelines.
"Materazzi’s knee is stable right now and I’m not too worried about it," stated Combi.
"He has certainly picked up an injury but it doesn’t look that serious even if we still have to carry out a number of tests."
Meanwhile, Inter could also be without Andy Van der Meyde for a few weeks after he suffered a problem at the San Siro.
"Van der Meyde slipped and pulled a thigh," explained Combi. "He’ll rest for a few days and then we’ll evaluate his condition."
