Spalletti plays down Perisic absence amid Manchester United reports
A tooth abscess was given as the reason for the Croatian's absence on Saturday as the Nerazzurri were beaten 2-1 by Nurnberg
Inter coach Luciano Spalletti has insisted that Ivan Perisic has a future at the club, despite reports he will be leaving San Siro for Manchester United.
The Croatia international was not named in Inter's squad for their 2-1 loss to Nurnberg, a move that heightened rumours he was preparing for an exit.
Earlier this week Perisic had been snapped during a Nerazzurri training session looking decidedly unhappy, and also sent tongues wagging with an Instagram post that said tantalisingly, "Destination unknown".
