Inter Milan's Mauro Icardi will pay tribute to the victims of the Chapecoense plane tragedy Friday evening by wearing a specially designed captain's armband at Napoli.
A chartered aircraft flying the Brazilian club to Medellin, Colombia to take on Atletico Nacional in the first leg of the Copa Sudamericana final crashed around 30 miles short of its destination on Monday night. The disaster took the lives of 71 people - including 19 team members - of the 77 who were on board.
