Inter Milan boss Luciano Spalletti has accused Mauro Icardi of humiliating the club after axing the striker from their squad for Sunday’s match against Lazio.
The 26-year-old was stripped of the Inter captaincy in February after failing to agree a new contract, with his current deal expiring in 2021.

Spalletti has ripped into Icardi
Spalletti said: “To have to negotiate with a player to get him to play and wear the Inter shirt is humiliating, for the fans and his team-mates.
“Do I have to email his lawyers before I can select him?
“Today, Mauro Icardi had to be left out because of the way he has behaved, it’s only fair that the others play. It’s a question of credibility.

“You must have respect and the right behaviour in the dressing room. The coach must be credible and recognised as someone who will do the right thing.â€
Sergej Milinkovic-Savic’s 12th-minute header was enough to condemn Inter to a second defeat in four league games.
But Spalletti refused to blame the poor result on Icardi’s absence.

He added: “How many defeats, worse than this one, have we had with Icardi on the pitch?
“Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo make a difference but there are very few like them.
“Professionalism and self-respect are everything. Discipline is everything.â€
