AC Milan boss Pippo Inzaghi has jumped to the defence of Keisuke Honda.

Honda has struggled in Italy since his January arrival from CSKA Moscow.

"The boy has always played and he is very underestimated. In my opinion he is very good and attentive," argued Inzaghi.

"In the attacking midfield, mostly on the right, with his characteristics he can give us a real hand, particularly as a person."
