Inter Milan vice-president Javier Zanetti is confident Mauro Icardi will find a way into the Argentina squad.

Icardi has so far been overlooked by Argentina coach Edgardo Bauza.

Zanetti considered: “Are there off-field reasons for him being left out? I don't think so, I've spoken to Edgardo Bauza. Mauro is our captain, he's playing very well, every game he plays with Inter is a way of showing that he's a great striker who always scores goals.

“That will lead him to wearing the shirt of the national team. We rely on him, and his chance will come. He deserves it, but right now we need to respect the current squad."
