Walter Mazzarri has insisted that the injury picked up by Samir Handanovic on Tuesday evening is not serious.

The Inter Milan goalkeeper was forced off midway through his team's 1-1 draw with Atalanta after hurting his ribs but Mazzarri rejected suggestions that he would be a long-term absentee.

"He received a heavy knock, as the doctor told me," the Nerazzurri manager told Sky Sport Italia.

"But I do not think it's anything serious."

Inter are fourth in Serie A following the draw.
