Sanchez still not ready to start for Inter, confirms Conte

Alexis Sanchez is still not ready to start for Inter, according to coach Antonio Conte.

Sanchez has made one brief substitute appearance in Serie A since joining Inter on loan from Manchester United.

The Chile international did not have a full pre-season with United due to a hamstring injury sustained at the Copa America.

With Inter top of Serie A and yet to drop a point, Conte is in no rush to push Sanchez into his side.

"For him it is worth the words I give for everyone else," he said ahead of Wednesday's home game against Lazio.
