AC Milan coach Gattuso on Icardi: I get vicious over lack of respect

AC Milan coach Rino Gattuso has weighed into Mauro Icardi's row with Inter Milan management.

Icardi isn't expected to be involved for today's derby.

Gattuso commented: “Even the best player in the world must respect every member of the dressing room. When someone lacks respect, and again I am talking only about my lads, I become the most vicious man in the world.

“Football teams are built in the dressing room and respect is fundamental, not just for the players, but everyone who is connected with them.

“The dressing room is sacred and I like it when people say things to their faces. I'd prefer them to swear at each other and let it all out so that it can be resolved in a few days."
