At best, Mauro Icardi will make the bench for this weekend’s game with bottom of the league Benevento Corriere dello Sport report.
The captain’s presence is highly doubtful as he continues to struggle with a thigh injury. His recovery time has been slower than expected and the club doctors are continuing to monitor and test him. Dr. Volpi and his fellow medical team members are cautious about allowing the 25-year-old back too early in fear of aggravating the injury.
Icardi has been sidelined for the past three games and it is unclear when he will make a full recovery and be available to manager Luciano Spalletti.
The Argentine has scored 18 goals this season in 22 appearances. He was in fine form earlier in the season but has just one goal in his past five appearances as Inter have went through a real slump and look a shadow of the side from the first half of the season.
