In case you didn’t know…
Mauro Icardi was stripped of his captaincy for Inter Milan over six weeks ago and he has not played a single game for the side since. A lot of the problems between the club and Icardi stem from his sour attitude, which fans believe was starting to affect the players around him.
Icardi finally returned to training last week after Inter officials had to negotiate with his lawyer to get him to show up, but, even then, he was left out of their game against Lazio by Spalletti.
Spaletti believes that Mauro Icardi is currently “humiliating” the club’s supporters after their 1-0 loss to Lazio at the weekend; it was an indirect swipe at Icardi for not making himself readily available to the coach because of the way he’s been behaving.
The heart of the matter
When asked by Sky Italia about the Icardi situation after their game, Spalletti had this to say:
Icardi and Nara were actually present for the home defeat and the 26-year-old’s agent took to the TV show Tiki Taka to respond to Spaletti’s latest criticism.
She went on to say that Icardi’s silence on social media and off the pitch about the ongoing issues are not an indication of a deteriorating relationship with the club.
What next?
It isn’t clear as to whether Spalletti will feature Icardi in any of the remaining games, but with the relationship between the club and the player becoming more strenuous by the day, a transfer out of the club looks to be very likely at this point.
