Argentina boss, Jorge Sampaoli, has been touring Europe trying to find solutions to problems all over the pitch, starting with what to do with Mauro Icardi
Jorge Sampaoli has been doing his rounds once more in Europe, finalising plans and catching up with players expected to be in his World Cup squad but as ever there was one meeting that made the headlines above all others.
A rendezvous with Mauro Icardi was always going to spark contentious debate over whether the Inter captain should be included and if rumours are to be believed it was bad news for the prolific yet polemic centre-forward.
Icardi had appeared to have worked his way in once Sampaoli took control with a starting role in World Cup qualifying and the 25-year-old was even included in friendly squads prior to injury in November. However, reports suggest that Sampaoli has informed Icardi that unless Sergio Agüero is ruled out, there won’t be a place available in Russia.
