Hugo Campagnaro is hoping to stake a claim for a place in Roberto Mancini s new-look back four when Inter visit Roma on Sunday.
Mancini has shunned the three-man defence favoured by predecessor Walter Mazzarri in favour of fielding an extra man at the back.
Campagnaro has made just one league appearance for the San Siro outfit this season, but came on to replace the injured Yuto Nagatomo during Inter s 2-1 UEFA Europa League victory over Dnipro on Thursday.
And Nagatomo s potential lay-off could open the door for Campagnaro to force his way into Mancini s first-team plans
I ve only made three appearances so far, two in the Europa League and one in Serie A, he told Sky Sport 24. I hope things start improving now.

Arsenal have begun talking to Inter Milan about the possibility of signing Ivan Perišić, according to .
As is the case with Barcelona over the potential signing of Denis Suarez, there is a discourse between the wishes if the two clubs, with the Gunners hoping for a loan deal with an option to buy at the end of the season, while Inter are only interested in a permanent move at the moment. It remains to be seen if the gap in their respective interests can be overcome and a deal struck within the next few days, before the transfer window closes.
The Croatian international will turn 30 on February 2nd and has been at Inter since 2015. He has been linked with a move to the Premier League before, with Manchester United reportedly interested last summer.

Marouane Fellaini is keen to remain at Manchester United beyond this summer, according to the ESPN.
The Belgium international has been continuously linked with a move away from Old Trafford over the past twelve months, with Turkish duo Galatasaray and Besikstas among those interested in securing his services.
There is a fresh twelve month deal on the table at Old Trafford and the thirty year old is interested in extending his stay but is looking for a longer contract.
He did reject an offer from the club back in September but is in negotiations and is close to putting pen to paper.
Fellaini moved to Manchester United from Everton in the summer of 2013 and has since racked up one hundred and fifty-four appearances in all competitions, scoring twenty g…
Jose Mourinho says he has had to adapt to the qualities of his Manchester United players, claiming the team is slower than his Real Madrid side.
The 54-year-old won LaLiga, the Copa del Rey and the Supercopa de Espana during a three-year spell at the Santiago Bernabeu before he returned to England to take charge of Chelsea for the second time.
Madrid scored a league-best 121 goals in their title-winning campaign of 2011-12, while they also won a record 16 away matches and 32 in total a figure that was matched by Barcelona a year later.
United have shown progress since Mourinho replaced Louis van Gaal as manager but have often been found wanting in front of goal this season, failing to score in home games against Burnley and Bournemouth and only finding the net mo…
Arsenal are ready to reignite their interest in PSV Eindhoven s Donyell Malen, according to Le10Sport.
The 21-year-old has already spent some time in North London with Arsenal s Academy, but he was subsequently allowed to leave for £500,000 in 2017. That s when he joined PSV and played a year for their U-21 side, before being promoted to the first team the following summer. This season his performances have caught the eyes of many top clubs, including Real Madrid and Barcelona, until a knee injury took him out of action for a long time. Having undergone surgery in December, his season is probably over.
Concerned about any potential long-term damage, the Spanish giants seem to have withdrawn their interest for the time being, opening the door for the Gunners to swoop in…
According to Sky Sports sources, and Lazio are in advanced negotiations over the signing of . The 25-year-old Brazilian has been with the club since 2013 when he moved over from Santos, and in that time he s established himself as one of the club s most effective all-around attacking midfielders. The Hammers, on the other hand, continue to try and make a series of statements in the summer transfer window.
The East London club confirmed the signing of Jack Wilshere from Arsenal less than 24 hours ago, and now, it seems as if they re going all in on acquiring their primary transfer targets. The club s main aim since moving to their new stadium has always been to establish themselves as consistent top six contenders, and while they haven t managed to do so just yet, bringing in p…
Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho believes Diego Costa will have benefited from his midweek exertions ahead of Saturday s visit of Hull City.
Costa played the full 90 minutes on Wednesday as Chelsea eased to a 3-1 victory over Sporting Lisbon in the UEFA Champions League.
The Spain international has featured in four games without scoring since claiming his 11th Premier League goal of the season against West Brom on November 22.
Yet Mourinho declared himself pleased with the 26-year-old s contribution in the clash with Sporting, as Costa seeks to return to peak fitness and form after persistent hamstring trouble this term.
He wants to improve his condition, explained Mourinho. The confidence is not high, the condition is not the best but he wants to use the g…

David Luiz believes Maurizio Sarri s attitude to life, coupled with his footballing philosophy, has helped the Italian make an impressive start at Chelsea.
The former Napoli coach has a 100 per cent record in the Premier League since replacing departed compatriot Antonio Conte at Stamford Bridge.
Centre-back David Luiz fell out of favour under Conte last season but has started all four league fixtures prior to the international break, despite Sarri switching to a back four.
Sarri s positive outlook and not just in terms of his coaching have helped to rejuvenate the Blues career of a player who was so pivotal in the title triumph of 2016-17.
First of all he s a great person, great as a human, the Brazil international said of Sarri in an interview with Che…
Arsenal coach Mikel Arteta is confident the club will achieve all of their transfer goals before the October 6 deadline.
The Gunners could only finish as high as eighth in the Premier League last season, their worst finish since coming 12th in 1994-95.
Arsenal always looked likely to be busy in the transfer market following that disappointment, as they look to rebuild under Arteta, who replaced Unai Emery late last year.
Defence appeared to be the area of the squad in most need of refreshment and the club made the loan spells of Pablo Mari and Cedric Soares – both of whom hardly featured after their January arrivals due to injuries – permanent before the season ended.
William Saliba has joined up with them after spending 2019-20 on loan at previous cl…
