Team News: Mauro Icardi returns from suspension for Inter Milan

Mauro Icardi has returned to the Inter Milan attack for the Serie A clash with Hellas Verona at the Stadio Marcantonio Bentegodi.

The Argentine forward was suspended last weekend, but he is handed a recall by Roberto Mancini and renews his partnership with Rodrigo Palacio.

Lukas Podolski and Xherdan Shaqiri are both forced to settle for places on the bench, while Nemanja Vidic starts in the centre of defence.

The hosts are without Artur Ionita due to injury, but there is a recall in midfield for Mounir Obaddi, while Luca Toni is once again trusted to lead the line.

Hellas Verona: Rafael; Sala, Rodriguez, Moras, Pisano; Obbadi, Tachtsidis, Hallfredsson; Gomez, Toni, Jankovic

Inter: Handanovic; D'Ambrosio, Ranocchia, Vidic, Jesus; Guarin, Medel, Brozovic, Hernanes; Icardi, Palacio
