After the 1-0 defeat to Lazio, Luciano Spalletti discussed Icardi's situation again and his decision to leave him out of the squad list for the six pointer against the Biancocelesti. Mauro's wife and agent Wanda Nara, during the TV show Tiki Taka, made clear that "Icardi is ready to play, now it's all up to the coach's decision. Mauro wants to plays, he is working to play".
Wanda was also asked about a comment on Spalletti's words on the former captain after the match: "Mauro is accostumed to all this chatter, he doesn't care about it. He is focused solely on what he wants to do, that's playing and scoring for Inter. His relationship with his teammates? It depends on how you look at the situation, maybe it's different from the inside. I'll say it again, he only wants to go back on the pitch".
Finally, she described how Mauro felt to watch his teammates from the stands: "He had a camera on his during the match, and it showed that he was rooting for his teammates. He cares about them, he doesn't need to make it clear on social media".
