According to reports, Argentina boss Jorge Sampaoli has already decided not to take Inter’s Mauro Icardi to the World Cup.
There is a great deal of competition for places in the team going to Russia over the summer.
Icardi was famously snubbed by previous tacticians, but has been called in several times by Sampaoli.
The 25-year-old now has four senior caps for the Albiceleste, but is yet to score a goal.

Fox Sports in South America now report that Icardi won’t be in the squad for the World Cup, partly due to his performances for Argentina, but mainly because of a tense rapport with other players.
This season, Maurito has contributed 18 goals in 22 Serie A appearances for Inter.
