Inter Milan coach Andrea Stramaccioni has decided to start veteran striker Tommaso Rocchi in this afternoon's crunch Serie A clash with Catania.
Rocchi comes in for Rodrigo Palacio to form a three-man forward line with Argentine duo Ezequiel Schelotto and Ricardo Alvarez.
Antonio Cassano is left out of the Inter squad altogether following his clash with Stramaccioni in training this week.
Japanese full-back Yuto Nagatomo begins his spell on the sidelines with a knee injury, with Alvaro Pereira and Juan Jesus helping to form a new-look defence.
Catania coach Rolando Maran is without Nicola Leggrotaglie and Giuseppe Bellusci, who both miss out through suspension.
Catania: Andujar, Alvarez, Spolli, Rolin, Marchese, Biagianti, Lodi, Izco, Castro, Gomez, Bergessio
Inter: Handanovic, Zanetti, Chivu, Juan Jesus, Pereira, Guarin, Kuzmanovic, Gargano, Schelotto, Rocchi
