Re: Monday 25th July- Friendly

I would be very wary of backing Leicester, even at that price.

Inter could put out the following side

Goalie (none of the recognised 1st teamers)

RB Ze Maria, Brazilian from Perugia couple of seasons ago
CB Materazzi - Italian Internationalist
CB Mihaljovic - old but still good enough at this level
LB Favalli - Italian internationalist

RM Karagounis - Greek internationalist, Euro 2004 winner
CM Stankovic - Serb, Inter's best midfield player last season
CM Pizarro - just signed from Udinese, Chilean, good attacking midfielder
LM Solari - just signed from Real, good winger

CF Martins - Nigerian internationalist, kept Vieri out of side at times last season
CF Choutous - Greek internationalist, Euro 2004 winner

At least 9 outfield internationalists, any of which would walk into Leicester team.

Leicester will have fitness and yes there will be subs by Inter but as with many friendlies I wouldn't touch due to doubts over who will play, who won't and when.
