Training injury
The former Ternana Calcio, ACF Fiorentina and S.S. Lazio player, who started his career in his native Santiago with CD Palestino, picked up the injury in training on Saturday and has been ruled out of action for a month following medical examinations. That means he will miss Inter's opening Group B games at Panathinaikos FC a week today and and Werder Bremen on 1 October. A substitute in Inter's opening Serie A game of 2008/09, he scored three goals in 15 league appearances for the Italian champions last season.
