Asked if the Belgian had returned to the level he had displayed during his first spell at Inter - during which he scored 64 goals in two seasons and won the Serie A title - Inzaghi told reporters:"You know him, you know what he can do. However, Inzaghi added that there are still some doubts over the 30-year-old's fitness, saying,"three games a week at the moment, I don't even know if he can manage them..."
"I said it before Benfica, it will take a cool head and a warm heart. I will be repetitive, but it's the only way for matches like this," Inzaghi added.
