Wanda Nara: Stripping Inter captaincy was like taking one of Icardi’s legs

Wanda Nara , wife and agent for Mauro Icardi, claims that taking away the captain's armband from her husband was akin to taking away one of his legs.

Inter named goalkeeper Samir Handanovic as their new club captain last week, stripping their star striker of the role amid persistent transfer rumours.

Icardi was then left out of the squad for the first leg of their Europa League last-32 tie against Rapid Vienna, and was once again not part of the side as the club claimed a win over Sampdoria on Sunday, though he was in the stands for the match.
