Theory emerges on why Mauro Icardi was *really* left out of the Argentina squad

Inter Milan striker Mauro Icardi has been left out from Argentina World Cup Squad despite establishing himself as one of the world’s premier marksmen over the few seasons “because he is not in Lionel Messi’s clan”, according to Bleacher Report. Icardi has enjoyed a stellar season in front of goal, netting 29 times in 34 games in Serie A for Inter. But he admitted earlier this year he didn't expect to be named in the 23-man squad. "It is nothing strange," Icardi told Ole. "I think that it was only because I lacked more time [on the pitch]. "I do not know if I joined the national team at the right time because of the pressure that we faced. "But I did what I was asked by the coaching staff, and the truth is, I am very happy to have played a role in qualifying."
