Cambiasso, Pandev and Chivu all back

Rafa Benitez has received a boost ahead of this weekend's match against Sampdoria as Esteban Cambiasso, Goran Pandev and Cristian Chivu are fit and available again.

Tuttosport understands that all three are likely to start at San Siro on Sunday after training fully in this afternoon's training session at Appiano Gentile.

Inter still have something of an injury crisis on their hands, one that was compounded by Dejan Stankovic's groin problem, which could keep him out for a month.

Benitez is still missing the likes of Thiago Motta and Diego Milito, as well as several other squad players such as Amantino Mancini, David Suazo and Nelson Rivas.

Inter currently lie second in Serie A, two points behind League leaders Lazio.
