Luciano Spalletti has confirmed that Mauro Icardi will return to the Inter starting XI to face Genoa in Serie A on Wednesday.
In an off-field soap opera which has dragged on for almost two months, Icardi was stripped of the captaincy at Inter and dropped from any first team action - only to return to training last week.
He was expected to feature against Lazio at the weekend, but Spalletti opted to leave him out of the squad altogether, claiming he needed to atone for his previous mistakes.
It now appears that Spalletti has forgiven Icardi is prepared to move on as, in a pre-match press conference (via Inter's Twitter page), the Italian coach has confirmed that Icardi will be starting against Genoa.
