Inter Milan boss Mancini pleased Icardi back on scoresheet

Inter Milan boss Roberto Mancini is happy with Mauro Icardi after victory over Empoli.

Icardi struck the winner this week.

"I've always thought that Mauro is a matchwinner and said he would score lots of goals. I have complete faith in his ability. He's doing a great job for us," said Mancini.

The coach was asked about Stevan Jovetic's absence from the starting line-up.

"I like playing Mauro and Stevan together but sometimes we need to do without one of the two, or we might go with a different formation. Jovetic is a top-quality striker who could end up scoring another 15 goals which would complement our attack perfectly."
