Argentina snub Icardi as Lavezzi makes cut instead
The Inter man was once again overlooked, while Hebei's struggling striker remains in the squad for two vital Conmebol qualifying clashes
Argentina coach Edgardo Bauza has opted to snub Mauro Icardi for the upcoming World Cup qualifiers versus Chile and Bolivia.
Bauza recently travelled to Italy to hold talks with the Inter striker, fuelling speculation could make the cut for this month's internationals.
But Icardi made his senior debut for Argentina in October 2013, but has not featured for the national team since.
Lavezzi, meanwhile, remains part of Bauza's plans regardless of his underwhelming form for Hebei China Fortune.
