Future Inter striker Lautaro Martinez will be in the Argentina squad for the 2018 World Cup, but not current star Mauro Icardi, it’s reported.
According to TyC Sports, Coach Jorge Sampaoli has drawn up the list of 35 names, which will later be whittled down for the tournament.
Icardi is seemingly not on there, whereas Racing Club Avellaneda starlet Martinez is included.
Inter have already agreed terms with both Racing and 20-year-old Martinez to complete the transfer over the summer.
Despite scoring 105 goals in 183 Serie A games, Icardi still can’t seem to break into the Argentina squad.
The 25-year-old received only four career caps, just three of them since September 2017.

Good news for Icardi and Inter. He can rest after 2017-18 season is over. There's 0% to win the world cup for Argentina. It's good not to be a part of loser team.
