Inter Milan captain Javier Zanetti was happy to cut short his summer hols to make their Super Coppa squad.
Both Zanetti and Brazilian goalkeeper Julio Cesar were recalled after injuries to Yuto Nagatomo and Emiliano Viviano.
"Here I am," smiled the Argentine veteran on Inter Channel as the team arrived in Beijing for Saturday's clash with AC Milan.
"As soon as I got the call, I rushed back. We already had our first training session and it went well, as I immediately felt in good shape.
"I hope to be ready straight away and at my best, as should be my teammates, for this very important Final."
