Inter Milan coach Spalletti tells Icardi: Get off social media

Inter Milan coach Luciano Spalletti has told Mauro Icardi to get off social media.

Icardi hasn't featured since losing the captaincy last week.

“There were tests today and, based on the results of those tests, we'll see what our medics' programme is for him to become available again," explained Spalletti.

“These situations aren't resolved with messages and likes. They're resolved with words and being together. There must be real contact.

“It's easier when you do things the old way. We say things that seem right and we do things that seem right. That's better understood by the players.

“I try to send messages that reach everyone. We're a team who know how to process things.

“We must answer to our fans, to Inter. Sometimes we take uncomfortable positions that make sense to us.

“We have to play tomorrow and I have the players I have available. If you look at it from a logical point of view, I'd say there's a 100 percent chance [of Icardi coming back as a starter]."
