Inter Milan dismiss fitness concerns over on loan Manchester City striker Stevan Jovetic

Inter Milan have rubbished claims that Stevan Jovetic is struggling for fitness following his move from Manchester City.

The striker headed to the San Siro this summer on an initial 18-month loan after failing to break into Manuel Pellegrini's first team.

Following the completion of the deal there were claims in the Italian media that the Montenegro international was struggling with old injuries.

But Piero Volpi, who is in charge of Inter's medical team, has denied any truth to the speculation over the 25-year-old's fitness.

"I see Jovetic doing very well physically," Volpi told FcInterNews.

"He was immediately put at our disposal and arrived having already trained well in pre-season with Manchester City.

"From all of our observations - the data collected and all the tests we have done - he hasn't presented any of the problems that were so rumoured in the football world.

"I have to say that we are very satisfied for now."
