Almost ten thousand kilometres away, Mauro Icardi and Lautaro Martinez have returned to training, after interim coach Lionel Scaloni called them up for international duty with Argentina.
Gazzetta dello Sport report on the physical condition on both strikers, after they were kept off the field against Bologna.
“Following the twinges in the right thigh of Icardi and fatigue in the left calf of Lautaro, the Nerazzurri players have done personalised work under the Seleccion Kinesiology Therapist Luis Garcia”.
Both players can be already be assumed benched for Argentina’s friendly in Los Angeles against Guatemala. However, Maurito and Lautaro could play in the second game, next Tuesday in New Jersey against Colombia. They would then return to Italy on either the Wednesday or Thursday to begin preparation for their next match at San Siro against Parma on the weekend, which due to the Champions League fixture with Tottenham, has been moved to Saturday at 3PM, but Spalletti must reflect on whether or not they’ll be able to take part, if he needs them fresh for the clubs first Champions League fixture in 7 years.
