WITH GALATASARAY

CASTAIGNOS TO START

THERE'S MELO

First test at a high level: the Turks of Terim are ready to start the former Juventus player.

The fourth friendly and it starts to get serious: after Trentino Team, Mezzocorona and Cremonese, Gasperini is asking for an important response against Galatasaray to watch the progress of his Inter.  It will be a big test particularly for the defense which consists of Ranocchia, Chivu and Samuel.  Not only that, Castaignos will also have an iportant chance to play.  Meanwhile, Sneijder is expected to be used once again in the midfield.  It is no longer an experiment but it is a confirmation of a project.  Comparing to Wednesday, the coach will regain Samuel and Nagatomo but he prefers to postpone the return of Thiago Motta, who before yesterday has started training with the group but yesterday, he did his own specific work-out.  Santon is out because of precaution.  Jonathan is still a bit tired and it is still early for him to be available.  He has been working on the sands just like Cordoba

Gala The opponent, in addition to being a quality, will probably debut Felipe Melo, who arrived on loan from Juventus for a year, as a central midfielder.  Melo attended his first training session with the Giallorossi Friday afternoon and the Turkish media has already called him a "pitbull".  The thing is that for the Giallorossi, it is not over.  Adebayor remains the main objective but the Turkish media believes that Galatasaray will use this opportunity to get more information regarding Diego Milito from Inter.  Ambitious ideas for a team that in the past dreamed about Cambiasso after the disastrous last season (including three changes in the coaching position), they have also changed their president.  Adnan Polat is gone and its the multi-billionaire Unal Aysal, a Turkish resident in Belgium.

Probable lineups:

Inter (3-4-3): Castellazzi; Ranocchia, Samuel, Chivu; Nagatomo, Sneijder, Stankovic, Obi; Castaignos, Eto'o, Alvarez.

Galatasaray (4-4-2): Aykut; Sabri, Ujfalusi, Servet, Hakan Balta; Selcuk Inan, Felipe Melo, Ceyhun, Arda; Baros, Elmander.
