Inter Milan coach Roberto Mancini has insisted that a fully-fit Lukas Podolski can be a hit at San Siro this season.
The German started on the bench in Tuesday's 1-1 draw at Juventus, but came off the bench on 55 minutes to earn his debut after joining on loan from Arsenal recently.
Podolski had found first-team football hard to come by in North London, and Mancini says that the 29-year-old will flourish when he gets more minutes under his belt.
"Lukas Podolski hadn't played in a while, so was not fully fit, but he can give Inter a big hand this season," he told Sky Sport Italia.
"A Coach wins with good players. Without them you might win the odd game, but not a League or a trophy."
Carlos Tevez had fired the Bianconeri into the lead inside five minutes, before Mauro Icardi levelled up midway through the second half as 11th-placed Inter held the Serie A leaders.
