Nainggolan calls on Inter to 'row in the same direction' following Icardi's return

Radja Nainggolan said "we all need to row in the same direction towards the same objective" after Mauro Icardi made a goalscoring return for Inter in Serie A.

Icardi made his first appearance since being stripped of the captaincy and scored in Wednesday's 4-0 rout of 10-man Genoa.

The former skipper – who had not played since February 9 after claims of injury and tension with the club amid uncertainty over his future – converted a 40th-minute penalty before turning provider for Ivan Perisic in the second half.
