Franco's role was to cure Villarreal's most chronic problem this season, the lack of goals which either win games or save a point when Pellegrini's side is staring defeat in the face.
The only trouble was that Franco came over from Mexico carrying a muscle tear in his right leg and it took much longer to heal than the Villarreal medics anticipated.
Franco said: "Now comes Internazionale and it is something incredible to be playing a team like them who would have been among the favourites to win the Champions League at the start of the season." That Franco is set to take part at the San Siro is pretty impressive in itself.
