Inter Milan striker Mauro Icardi to miss match vs. Carpi with thigh injury
Stefano Rellandini / Reuters
Inter Milan will play Carpi on Sunday without its top scorer.
Mauro Icardi was not selected as part of the squad to face the Serie A newcomers as he recovers from a thigh problem.
The 22-year-old limped off early in the first match of the new campaign against Atalanta.
Inter later confirmed the injury to his right thigh, and coach Roberto Mancini has omitted his star striker from the 21-man squad for the trip to Carpi.
Icardi scored a league-high 22 goals last season for Inter.
Ivan Perisic, who is on the verge of signing for the Nerazzurri, will not make his debut Sunday.
