Inter Milan manager Antonio Conte has said that new signing Christian Eriksen needs to find the right fitness levels after the Dane lasted just 58 minutes of his debut away to Udinese on Sunday.
The former Tottenham Hotspur midfielder joined Inter for around £16.9m last month after reaching the final six months of his Spurs contract.
Speaking to Sky Italia after the match, Conte said: "I think that for someone who arrived five days ago, and we should not forget we had to rush him in because we were missing several midfielders, Eriksen still made a positive impact.
"Obviously, he needs to get settled into our style of football and also find the right fitness levels for Serie A, but I am very pleased with his full debut."
The San Siro side won the match 2-0 thanks to two second-half goals from Belgian striker Romelu Lukaku.
The result leaves Inter second in the Serie A table, just three points adrift of leaders Juventus.
