Internazionale striker Mario Balotelli is struggling with a knee injury and will miss Friday's Serie A clash with Catania.

He is facing a race to be fit enough to play in next week's Champions League encounter with Chelsea although full-back Davide Santon and midfielder Thiago Motta have recovered from injuries and could play in Sicily.

"In the last training session, Mario Balotelli complained of pain following an injury to his right knee," said a statement on Inter's official website.

Marko Arnautovic misses the Catania game with a fever while Walter Samuel is suspended and Cristian Chivu remains on the sidelines with a head injury.
