Inter Milan coach Claudio Ranieri has called for more goals from his team ahead of Saturday's clash with Fiorentina at the San Siro.
Struggling Inter, 15th in the standings, slumped to a 2-1 home defeat to CSKA Moscow in the Champions League on Wednesday, following on from a weekend home loss against Udinese.
"The trouble is we're not scoring enough goals," the Italian told reporters on Friday. "I can't criticise the squad for anything else. With the help of the fans, our strikers can break their bad patch."
Despite returning to training, Dutch creative midfielder Wesley Sneijder will not be risked, with Ranieri set to decide whether to select the misfiring Diego Milito alongside Giampaolo Pazzini up front.

Roma are also without injured centre-backs Nicolas Burdisso and Simon Kjaer.
Better news for under-fire coach Luis Enrique is the return of talismanic skipper Francesco Totti, who is expected to start behind Argentina-born strikers Erik Lamela and Pablo Osvaldo, returning after a one-match club ban imposed for a dressing-room fight with Lamela.
"I'm doing fine," Osvaldo told Gazzetta dello Sport. "I'm playing for Roma, so it can't be better."
Second-placed AC Milan expect to welcome back influential midfielder Mark van Bommel for Sunday's trip to struggling Bologna.
