Mauro ICARDI scores in Inter victory against Cagliari

Mauro ICARDI scored yet another goal for Inter as they picked up a 4-0 win against Cagliari.

Despite not being in Jorge SAMPAOLI’s plans for the World Cup in Russia, that hasn’t stopped Inter’s captain from scoring. ICARDI netted goal number 25 of his Serie A season which puts him up with elite names of the footballing world.

Last three players to score 25 Serie A goals for Inter:
Ronaldo (1997-1998 season)
Zalatan IBRAHIMOVIC (2008-2009 season)
Mauro ICARDI (2017-2018)

He has now scored 49 goals in his last 63 Serie A games, the most he has ever manged in a single season. Here’s how he’s been doing in Serie A:

2017-2018: 25 goals
2016-2017: 24 goals
2015-2016: 16 goals
2014-2015: 22 goals
2013-2014: 9 goals
2012-2013: 10 goals

Crazy to think that Jorge SAMPAOLI is not planning on calling him to the Argentina National Team for the FIFA World Cup.

34

Alarm bells are ringing for the Argentina National Team as Sergio AGÜERO has underwent surgery.

As we reported earlier, Sergio AGÜERO had surgery on his knee and according to an AFA doctor, the recovery for it doesn’t take less than five weeks. Speaking to Radio 10, Homero D’AGOSTINO had this to say:

“That a player gets arthroscopic surgery 60 days before the World Cup is worrying. The recovery demands no less than five weeks.”

However, Sergio AGÜERO’s father was speaking with Radio La Red and stated the following:

“I spoke to him and he’s doing well. It was an emergency surgery. He’ll be out for a month. He got operated on to get to the World Cup without problems. He told me that in 20 days he’d be back in training. I don’t know if he’ll play a match with City.”

Sergio AGUERO has just had surgery on his knee and is set to miss the rest of the season for Manchester City.

AGUERO tweeted earlier on Tuesday that he’s recovering from arthroscopic surgery on his knee.

The question now remains on whether or not he’ll be fit to be called up by Jorge SAMPAOLI for the World Cup in Russia. According to Diario Ole reporter Hernan CLAUSE, AGUERO won’t be in action for at least 3-4 weeks which would allow him to recover just in time for the big tournament.

Watch out for this space at Mundo, as we will do our best monitor AGUERO’s progress and keep you up to date on this.

Just when you thought the twists and turns with Argentina were over, Carlos TEVEZ is now rumored to being back in the running with the Argentina National Team.

Fox Sports Argentina has just tweeted that Jorge SAMPAOLI is considering giving Carlos TEVEZ a recall for Argentina. While he was not on the rumored list of 35 players, he could be named in the preliminary list come May.

Carlos TEVEZ was part of Argentina’s 2015 Copa America team in Chile and also took part in a few 2018 World Cup Qualifying matches afterwards. It still remains to be seen if there is any truth to this news.
