Dutch playmaker Wesley Sneijder is doubtful for Wednesday's match against Livorno due to a leg muscle strain. Midfielder Dejan Stankovic is suspended, while Inter have also lost striker Diego Milito, who hobbled off the training pitch on Tuesday with a muscular problem. There are also heavy doubts on whether Mario Balotelli will be reinstated back into the team after he was left out of the last two squads because of discipline problems.

The 19-year-old striker risked further negative publicity this week after wearing an Milan shirt on a television show. On a brighter note, defender Cristian Chivu is fully fit again after recovering from a fractured skull. The Romania captain has not featured since suffering the head injury against Chievo on January 6 but has been included in the Serie A leaders' squad for Wednesday's game and is expected to play with a protective headguard.
