Inter coach Jose Mourinho still has doubts over striker Mario Balotelli as Inter prepare to face Catania this weekend.

Balotelli has had a up-and-down relationship with Mourinho but has since redeemed himself against Genoa with an impressive display.

Samuel Eto'o and Diego Milito have been Inter's first-choice pairing but Baloteli will be given a chance to shine at Catania.

According to Inter's official site, Mourinho said: "Balotelli will be on the pitch [against Catania]. I don't think that he is a phenomenon because he played an exceptional game in Genova, but because he worked very hard during the week.

"This time I don't have any options and he will play, but he still has to work a lot. I have spoken with Pea, the Primavera Coach, and he says that it's a generation problem, a problem of the people around the players who make them feel like victims.

"A 19-20 year-old boy who has balanced parents and doesn't think about money, the brother and the sister who follow him without disturbing him, a boy who is happy to drive a small car; this is the exception, the miracle," Mourinho concluded.
