| Muntari ready to face past |

Inter midfielder Sulley Muntari isn't underestimating the threat posed by his former club Udinese but knows a win is a must.
The leaders needed a last-gasp Julio Cruz goal to prevail in the first meeting of the season at San Siro.
And they will have to do without star right-back Douglas Maicon, who is likely to be out for the rest of the season.
“He is certainly an important player for us and I am gutted that he got injured,” Muntari told Sky Sport Italia.
“He has had a great season and I can only hope that he will be back soon.
“How will we play in Udine? It will be the usual Inter with the same desire to win and to do well that we show in every match.
“We have to get a result there and the three points are essential, even if we know it will be difficult.
“Even without Antonio Di Natale, Udinese are a strong team and it will certainly be a test.
“I don't know how I will be greeted. I have no problems with them because I grew up there and they helped me a lot. I won't forget what they did for me.”
Muntari is nearing the end of his first season with Inter and believes he has matured.
“I get sent off less and I think that is because of my teammates and the Coach who tell me to stay calm. I hope I can continue like this.
“I had a very good start to life at Inter. I wanted to do more, but I had some problems. Now I just want to finish the campaign strongly.”
