Inter Milan captain Javier Zanetti had advice for axed teammate Mario Balotelli after last night's win at Chelsea.

Balotelli was left behind following an alleged row with the Coach and his captain gave words of advice.

Zanetti said: "We need everyone. If Balotelli saw the game, then he needs to realise how you stay in this team. If that's the way he can feel important in the squad, then he can help us too."
