Inter has left Mauro Icardi out of its squad for Thursday's Europa League clash with Rapid Vienna after stripping him of the captaincy earlier on Wednesday.

The Serie A club revealed goalkeeper Samir Handanovic as its new skipper but did not give any reasons for Icardi's removal.

The Argentina international trained with the squad on Wednesday but was a notable absentee when Inter named the 19-man party which would travel to Austria for the first leg of its last-32 tie.

Icardi has a contract with the Nerazzurri until 2021 but continues to be linked with a move away, with Barcelona, Real Madrid and Manchester United all having been credited with an interest.
