Inter coach Roberto Mancini has instantly switched his attention to Thursday evening's Europa League game against Celtic after his side put Atalanta to the sword today in Serie A.

The Nerazzurri were rampant against Atalanta and eased to a 4-1 win, with goals from Xherdan Shaqiri, Fredy Guarin (two) and Rodrigo Palacio, which sees them in high spirits ahead of their forthcoming trip to Glasgow.




"Today did us well to prepare ourselves in view of the Europa League", Mancini explained to Sport Mediaset.

 


The Italian boss also struck a positive note on Argentine striker Mauro Icardi being available to play Ronny Deila's Bhoys.

"I think so [that he will be available for Celtic]. We wanted to have him today, but he was not ready."

"They are all available.

"In the coming days we will work on recovery, nothing special."
