No Ibra, Yes Crespo


Inter boss Roberto Mancini has named his 20-man squad for the Coppa Italia final against Roma, and there is no Zlatan Ibrahimovic.



The Nerazzurri go into the game at the Stadio Olimpico without numerous first choice players. Marco Materazzi and Julio Cruz are both suspended following their misdemeanours in the semi final second leg against Lazio.





Luis Figo, and Santiago Solari are still out injured, as are long-term absentees Olivier Dacourt, Walter Samuel, and Ivan Cordoba.



Esteban Cambiasso has failed to recover too, but there was some good news as Christian Chivu was named in the squad after training today.



The biggest surprise was the exclusion of Zlatan Ibrahimovic, who had been expected to play following his super-sub return from injury against Parma last Sunday.



Inter will clinch a domestic double if they beat the Giallorossi in the Eternal City tomorrow night.



Full Inter Squad



Goalkeepers: 1 Francesco Toldo, 12 Julio Cesar, 22 Paolo Orlandoni.
Defenders: 4 Javier Zanetti, 6 Maxwell, 13 Maicon, 16 Nicolas Burdisso, 26 Cristian Chivu, 40 Ivan Fatic, 47 Marco Filippini.
