Inter are back to business but without star striker, Christian Vieri.
Vieri is not expected to return for another two and a half months and Inter’s medical staff are being very cautious with their prize after a series of muscle problems ruined the striker’s season last year.
No one intends to rush him back as Inter and Vieri have much ground to make up this year if they are to challenge for honours.
Vieri will definitely miss the first two preliminary matches of this season’s Champions League and also seems destined to miss Trapattoni’s first match in charge of the Italian national team when they play Hungary on 3 September.
