Sebastian Veron has questioned why Mauro Icardi was left out of World Cup squad.
Icardi had scored 29 goals for Inter Milan in the 2017/18 season his most successful time since joining the Serie A club in 2013. He featured three times for Argentina in the qualifying matches. He says it is difficult to judge why Jorge Sampaoli left him.
“From outside it is difficult to judge his exclusion from the World Cup. I would need to be at the head of Sampaoli. I would have to be in Sampaoli’s head, but I do wonder why someone who has scored so many goals for Inter, who isn’t in the older generation, isn’t at the World Cup. He scores so much that he had to be on the list but only Sampaoli knows the reason.” Veron told RMC Sport.
“I hope they go through to the second round. It’s not an easy situation. What has happened to Messi? Only he knows. I hope he can drag the team and the team can accompany him. One player alone can not solve the fate of a team.” he said.
Veron featured for Inter on loan from Chelsea between 2004 and 2006 and made 73 appearances for Argentina.
