#3 Inter Milan not affected by Mauro Icardi drama

Mauro Icardi has been linked with a move away from Inter.

The former Sampdoria striker has gathered public attention due to his on and off the field problems. Inter have recently sent the Argentinian home from the club's pre-season camp. Thus, Inter were without the star striker during their pre-season clash with Lugano. Nevertheless, Antonio Conte's squad still managed to record a 2-1 win.

Inter defender Stefan de Vrij insisted that Icardi issue is not affecting the club. He also revealed that things are going well despite Inter will need to adapt to Conte's 3 at the back formation.

“Things are going very well, we’re working a lot physically and technically.

“We’ve put some gas in our legs so we can be better prepared. The formation has changed with Conte.

“Things inevitably do with three at the back, but that shouldn’t be a problem. We have to work on it and that’s what we’re doing.

“He makes us understand what he wants from us through what he tells us. The Icardi issue doesn’t concern us. We’re only thinking about what we have to do."
