"This week, there were big changes in the "Inter" club in Milan - Mauro Icardi was stripped of the captain's armband, and the player himself did not feature in the UEFA Europa League matches.
"Inter" confirmed on Wednesday that Samir Handanovic is the new captain of the team. A conflict arose between M. Icardi and "Inter" when both parties couldn't agree on a new contract.
Due to constant speculation, M. Icardi's playing quality and leadership qualities in the team declined.
Luciano Spalletti stated before the match against Vienna's "Rapid" that the player himself refused to travel to this duel.
M. Icardi has not commented on the situation from his side, but he shared a quote from Mark Twain on social media: "It's better to keep your mouth shut and appear stupid than open it and remove all doubt."
It should soon be clarified whether M. Icardi will play in the "Serie A" match on Sunday, where "Inter" will face his former team - Genoa's "Sampdoria".
