Rodrigo Palacio

Finding the back of the net on the weekend during the absence of Mauro Icardi showed that the forward can do a job for Mancini’s men.

He may not be as coveted as the younger forward who has been linked with a £30 million Chelsea move – but Palacio knows where the back of the net is.

Icardi may not be able to play the full 90 minutes – if he features in the starting XI at all – and when you couple that with the omission of Podolski, it is clear Palacio will have a part to play.
