APPIANO GENTILE - Andrea Stramaccioni has selected 22 Nerazzurri players in his matchday squad for tomorrow's game at Catania. The 2012/13 Serie A Week 27 fixture is due to kick off at the Stadio Angelo Massimino at 15:00.
Goalkeepers: 1 Samir Handanovic, 30 Juan Pablo Carrizo, 77 Raffaele Di Gennaro;
Following this morning's story in La Gazzetta dello Sport about a falling-out between the Nerazzurri coach and Antonio Cassano, there were inevitably some questions about the striker's exclusion from the squad for tomorrow's game. Stramaccioni explained: "It's my decision and no, he hasn't been suspended. What happened yesterday is nothing out of the ordinary, it was just an argument. The people who reported it don't have Inter's best interests at heart because things like that should be kept within the dressing room. It was just an argument; there was no contact. I am annoyed that it's been reported publicly because what goes on in the dressing room is sacred. I might have seen 30,000 similar situations before now. Besides anything else, Cassano is one of the players who has played more than most over the last seven matches. It's simply a decision I've taken and I don't want this to turn into press conference about Cassano now."
