Icardi resumed training with Inter over the international break, having seemingly cleared his differences with the club after being stripped of the captaincy amid protracted contract negotiations.
So it was a surprise when Inter coach Luciano Spalletti announced on Saturday he sees Icardi “like a new player as he was out for so long. I still hold that he can’t be ready yet to help his teammates so he won’t be in the squad tomorrow.”
Icardi last played for Inter on Feb. 9 in a 1-0 win at Parma.
The 26-year-old Icardi had said he had a knee injury, although the club has said tests did not reveal any problem.
With Lautaro Martinez out injured, Icardi was expected to start against Lazio.
