Diego Maradona said countryman Mauro Icardi does not exist to him anymore following the Inter captain s personal feud with Maxi Lopez.
Lopez split with his wife Wanda Nara in 2013 after it was exposed she was having an affair with former Sampdoria team-mate Icardi.
Icardi later got a tattoo of the three children Lopez had with Wanda, with the two refusing to shake hands before games since the public divorce.
Maradona was asked if Icardi should be picked for Argentina s squad for the Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro, but the 1986 World Cup winner gave a blunt response.
He could be captain of the cosmos, but to me he does not exist, he told Radio Metro.
After what happened I m a fan of Maxi Lopez.
You feed him, you let him in your …
Javier Hernandez scored twice in the last six minutes as West Ham secured a dramatic 4-3 Premier League win over rock-bottom Huddersfield Town at the London Stadium.
Jan Siewert s side had looked set for just a fourth league win of the season after a Juninho Bacuna header and Karlan Grant brace had cancelled out Mark Noble s early penalty.
They crumbled in the closing stages, though, with Angelo Ogbonna reducing the deficit with 15 minutes remaining and substitute Hernandez twice heading past Jan Lossl – the second coming in stoppage time – to seal an unlikely win in a seven-goal thriller.
Defeat leaves the Terriers rooted to the foot of the Premier League – 16 points from safety – while Manuel Pellegrini s side remain in ninth.
MASSIVE COMEBACK!!…
Mason Mount described Ben Chilwell s hamstring agony as tough to watch and hopes his Chelsea and England team-mate can recover in time to feature at the World Cup.
Left-back Chilwell was forced from the field during stoppage time in the Blues 2-1 win over Dinamo Zagreb in the Champions League on Wednesday.
With the Qatar 2022 finals less than three weeks away, Chilwell faces a race to prove his fitness for England boss Gareth Southgate, deepening what is already becoming a defensive crisis for the Three Lions.
Mount was left fearing the worst for Chilwell, but he remained hopeful it may not be as serious an injury as it looked at first glance.
We don t know how bad it is, but that was tough to watch, Mount told Chelsea s official website. We saw his reac…
Galatasaray are keeping tabs on Benfica striker Javier Saviola, according to reports.
The diminutive forward has been strongly linked with a move away from Benfica in January after a disappointing start to his third season at the Estadio da Luz, according to Turkish news daily Sabah.
Saviola s contract runs out at the end of the season and the Portuguese giants have yet to state whether they will exercise their option to extend the Argentine s deal by one year.
The 29-year-old had already been on Galatasaray s wishlist during the summer transfer window, but a move failed to materialise.
The former Barcelona man, who joined Benfica in 2009, has scored 36 goals in 104 appearances for the Portuguese side.

The St Louis Rams have sacked head coach Steve Spagnuolo after finishing the 2011 NFL regular season with a 2-14 record.
After a terrible first season at the helm, with the Rams finishing 2009 at 1-15, Spagnuolo led them to a 7-9 record last season and they narrowly missed out on a spot in the play-offs.
But 2011 was a disaster for the 52-year-old, with the Rams level with the Indianapolis Colts for the worst record in the NFL.
Spagnuolo, who has previously been defensive coach at the Philadelphia Eagles and New York Giants, finished with a record of 10-38 from his three seasons in St Louis.
Jim Fisher, a former head coach with the Tennessee Titans, has been linked with the vacant position.

Alongside providing a release date for Alasports bettingn Wake 2’s Physical Deluxe Edition, Remedy Entertainment has revealed that its second expansion, The Lake House, is also launching in October.
When asked what it could say about it, the developer said, “Not much!” It reaffirmed that the expansion occurs in the titular facility near Cauldron Lake, Bright Falls. An “independent government organization” set it up to “conduct secret research,” but as so often happens in the Remedy Universe, things go wrong.
It remains to be seen how events will play out, but it will likely tie into the base game’s story more than Night Springs. The…

Captain’s armband comes with great weight and bears a great deal of responsibility.
Wayne Rooney has been a good commander of his side ever since he was promoted captain in 2014. A leader on the pitch and in the locker room, Wayne Rooney has spent many years playing at top level which should be enough to help him realise the magnitude of the responsibility which comes with that piece of fabric that gets wrapped around your arm every time you step on the pitch.
Captain’s burden
It has long passed the point of just poor stretch as Wayne Rooney’s performances for Manchester United have been heavily criticised over the course of few months.
Naturally and originally a striker, Wayne Rooney has long be…
Callum Hudson-Odoi hopes the raw and fearless playing style of himself and childhood friend Jadon Sancho can prove a huge asset to England.
Chelsea winger Hudson-Odoi became the youngest England player to make his debut in a competitive international when he replaced hat-trick hero Raheem Sterling for the closing 20 minutes of Friday s 5-0 Euro 2020 qualification rout of the Czech Republic.
His shot brought about an own goal from Tomas Kalas to compound the visitors misery and cap a Three Lions display brimming with attacking verve.
Sancho, 18 like Hudson-Odoi, impressed on his first competitive start for Gareth Southgate s side, laying on Sterling s first-half opener.
From the days of playing against each other in the Watford and Chelsea youth set-ups,…
