Luciano Spalletti has insisted that Mauro Icardi's recent absence has not contributed to Inter's run of positive results - their most recent being a 4-0 win over Rapid Wien in the Europa League.
Inter were comfortable winners on the night, with two goals in either half sealing a 5-0 aggregate win. Matias Vecino, Andrea Ranocchia, Ivan Perisic and Matteo Politano got the goals as the Nerazzurri swept away their Austrian opposition with ease.
Icardi was in the stands once again as his teammates romped to victory, but Spalletti was keen to play down the importance of his recent absence.
