MILAN – Mauro Icardi will make his first appearance for Inter Milan in nearly two months when the team visits Genoa on Wednesday.

Inter coach Luciano Spalletti says Icardi will be in his starting lineup for the Serie A match.

Icardi resumed training with Inter over the international break. That followed a six-week exile after being stripped of the captaincy amid protracted contract negotiations.

Icardi resumed training with Inter over the international break, having seemingly cleared up his differences with the club after being stripped of the captaincy amid protracted contract negotiations. So it was a surprise when Inter coach Luciano Spalletti announced Saturday that he now sees Icardi “like a new player as he was out for so long. I still hold that he can’t be ready yet to help his teammates so he won’t be in the squad tomorrow.” (AP Photo/Luca Bruno, File)

With Lautaro Martinez injured, Icardi was expected to start against Lazio on Sunday but was again left out.

Spalletti says “the conditions are now right for Mauro to help the team again. He’ll play from the start because he’s displayed the right reaction.”

The 26-year-old Icardi last played for Inter on Feb. 9 in a 1-0 win at Parma.

Picture perfect: Ronaldo's fitness goes beyond vanity
FILE - In this Wednesday, Nov. 7, 2018 file photo, Juventus forward Cristiano Ronaldo celebrates after scoring his side's opening goal during the Champions League group H soccer match between Juventus and Manchester United at the Allianz stadium in Turin, Italy. Perhaps those perfectly sculpted abdominal muscles that Cristiano Ronaldo constantly shows off on social media are not just for vanity purposes. Ronaldo’s well-documented fitness has enabled him to stay remarkably healthy throughout his glittered career. With the Juventus striker currently working his way back from a minor right thigh muscle issue, it’s worth remembering how few matches he has missed due to injury. Before his injury, Ronaldo played in 36 of Juve’s 39 matches in all competitions this season _ starting 34 of them. The only times he didn’t play were because coach Massimiliano Allegri wanted to rest him, or because he was suspended. (AP Photo/Antonio Calanni, File)
