Hernanes looking forward to Milan derby

Inter Milan midfielder Hernanes has said that he is looking forward to playing in his first Milan derby this evening.

The Nerazzurri face rivals AC Milan at the San Siro, with both clubs still looking to book their spot in the Europe League for next season.

"I have great expectations for this game," Hernanes told Sky Perfect Japan. "I want to do really well because I know that a player can really win over the fans in games like these.

"I want to help the team win. It will be very important because, beyond the fact that it's the derby, it can be key in us moving forward with our objectives."

Inter are currently fifth in the Serie A table and stand six points above 10th placed Milan.
