Inter Milan boss Roberto Mancini has defended Mateo Kovacic.
The midfielder has struggled for form in recent weeks.
Mancini said: "As for Kovacic, it's true that he didn't play against Cesena, and getting less playing time may have an influence.
"He's a young player and alternating time on and off the bench is normal. If he plays tomorrow then I hope he enjoys a significant game.
"These are the matches that can unlock something inside you."
