Inter will host AS Roma on Sunday in one of the most highly anticipated clashes of the year. More than the game itself, all the eyes will be on Romelu Lukaku, who is making his comeback at San Siro after what happened last summer, when he refused to re-join Inter and later decided to sign for the Giallorossi. Jose Mourinho, who will be suspended for Sunday's game, defended his striker and said: "I didn't think Lukaku was so important in Milan, the titles he won with that team were won by more than two hundred players in the history of Inter. Lukaku's transfer from Inter to Roma is considered a drama, while Calhanoglu moving from Milan to Inter is seen as a brilliant signing." Here's what you need to know:
