Mauro Icardi will be sidelined through to mid-August according to Gazzetta dello Sport. The captain missed the final games of the season due to a muscle injury and the Nerazzurri do not wish to risk him in his current physical state. Therefore, he is unlikely to feature against Chelsea, Bayern Munich, Villarreal and Real Betis – even though his muscle injury is unlikely to be bothering him as long as that.
Moreover, Gazzetta report that Sporting Director Piero Ausilio has taken a look at Nikola Kalinic, who is also on city rivals Milan’s radar.
