Conte, who took over from Luciano Spalletti in the summer, has expressed his happiness with the depth of his squad following the arrival of Romelu Lukaku, Diego Godin, Nicolo Barella and several others.
He added: "Of [Romelu] Lukaku, I have said far and wide what I think, it seems to me superfluous to repeat it again.
"For the midfielders, on the other hand, I am happy. Beyond those who score, the more arrows we have available to our bow, the better."
The Chilean has appeared on the bench as a substitute in each of Inter’s last two fixtures but has not been called upon.

Even in the Europa League, when the Italian giants were trailing to Slavia Praha, Sanchez was overlooked in favour of Barella, Valentino Lazaro and Matteo Politano.
The forward’s poor start to life in Italy is a continuation of the abysmal form that he showed while in England.
The arrival of the Chilean on a free transfer had sparked excitement amongst the Old Trafford faithful, but Sanchez failed to deliver.
He scored just three goals in the Premier League for United in over 30 appearances.
The 30-year-old will hope to feature against Lazio as Inter look to extend their winning run to five games.
