Inter striker Mauro Icardi is reportedly at risk of missing Copa America with Argentina this summer.

According to Sky Sport Italia, Icardi had been Lionel Scaloni’s first choice to lead Argentina’s attack at the tournament, given the CT ‘isn’t on good terms’ with Sergio Aguero and ‘isn’t considering’ Gonzalo Higuain.

The broadcaster explains Scaloni will ask Icardi for information about his fitness during a phone call later on Wednesday.

However, the 26-year-old’s current situation – which sees him out of the Inter squad with an alleged knee injury and without the captaincy – would have endangered his place in the squad.

Icardi has eight caps and one goal for his country, while the 2019 Copa America kicks off in Brazil on June 14.
