Inter coach Claudio Ranieri has received some encouraging news from the treatment room in the build-up to Saturday's Serie A match at home against Udinese as striker Diego Forlan is nearing full match fitness again after a spell on the sidelines due to injury.
The experienced attacker picked up a muscular problem halfway through October while away on international duty and has since been out of action.
However, the Nerazzurri have now announced on their official website that Forlan has returned to the training pitch and is close to making his comeback.
Forlan featured in a training game on Wednesday without any significant problems before continuing with an individual practice session.
The 32-year-old joined Inter from Atletico Madrid in the summer transfer window but has so far been unable to make an impact due to injury, making only five appearances and scoring just one goal, all in Serie A.
