APPIANO GENTILE - Inter's preparations for Inter v Palermo continued with an afternoon training session at the Centro Sportivo Angelo Moratti.

After performing abdominal exercises Mancini's players were split into groups. Those who played most of the Champions League game against Liverpool went through an aerobic workout whilst the others performed possession drills.

The Nerazzurri continued with a practice match with limited touches of the ball, and concluded with the squad in groups again, with aerobic work for those who played on Tuesday and technique drills and target practice for the others.

Primavera players Mario Balotelli and Ivan Fatic trained with the first team, while Cesar (strength building in gym, exercises in sandpit, technique drills on pitch), Olivier Dacourt (strength building in gym, exercises on sand track), Maxwell (abdominal exercises, long aerobic session, technique drills on pitch) and Walter Samuel (physiotherapy, strength building in gym) worked individually.

After undergoing surgery on his left knee, Ivan Ramiro Cordoba will spend the next two weeks continuing the first phase of his injury rehabilitation programme in Florida.
