PSG's Mauro Icardi 'ruled out of Leipzig tie due to family problems'

Mauro Icardi 'ruled out of RB Leipzig tie due to family problems'

Paris Saint-Germain striker Mauro Icardi has reportedly withdrawn from the squad to face RB Leipzig due to 'family issues'.

The Argentine's wife Wanda Nara - who also acts as his agent - posted a series of cryptic Instagram stories hinting at a separation over the weekend, and Mauricio Pochettino confirmed that Icardi was absent from training on Sunday.

However, Icardi was on the list when PSG's squad for Tuesday's Champions League tie was announced, but according to L'Equipe, the 28-year-old has withdrawn just hours after being named in the team.

The report adds that Icardi is 'very affected' by the drama surrounding his personal life and does not feel capable of playing, joining the injured Neymar, Sergio Ramos and Leandro Paredes on the absentee list.

Icardi boasts three goals from 11 appearances in all competitions this season, and his absence coupled with Neymar's injury could see Julian Draxler drafted into the attack on Tuesday.
