Internazionale expect Nicolas Burdisso to be available for Sunday's Serie A trip to Roma despite suffering a head injury while on international duty.
The Argentina defender was stretchered off during Wednesday's World Cup qualifier against Chile after clashing heads with opposition striker Mark Gonzalez.
However, Inter medical staff have been in touch with Burdisso in South America and believe he will be available to resume club action at the weekend.
"I spoke to Nicolas on the phone and he told me about the knock he received to his head," revealed club doctor Franco Combi.
"However, he was fine by the end of the game and he was able to rejoin the team afterwards. He is okay and there is nothing to be worried about.
"Burdisso has a mild headache, but that's all and he will return to Italy as normal on Friday."
