Andrea Pirlo claims Inter play better with Lautaro Martinez in the side, while suggesting Mauro Icardi's position at San Siro has been weakened by his continued absence.
Pirlo, who played for Inter before enjoying a storied career with AC Milan and Juventus, does not believe Icardi is helping his situation by remaining unavailable for selection.
"Inter keep playing and those who do not play are losing value," Pirlo said. "Inter have another attacker. "How will Icardi return after being out for so long? "Lautaro is more complete and makes the team play better, whereas Icardi is more of a goalscorer. But they can play together."
Icardi has not played for the Nerazzurri since he was stripped of the captaincy in February amid a contract wrangle between the club and his wife and agent Wanda Nara.
