During the break in the league for international matches, head coach Okan Buruk had given his players a four-day leave. However, it was learned that Icardi, who traveled to Argentina, extended this leave to 10 days with special permission. This situation has sparked debates regarding the star player, whose performance has been needed in recent weeks.

Icardi's attendance at a film premiere in Argentina with his girlfriend, China Suarez, caused a widespread reaction on social media. This behavior by Icardi, who took on the captaincy following Muslera's departure, was described as "unprofessional."

Galatasaray fans criticized Icardi by pointing to Lucas Torreira as an example, who did not leave the team despite his father suffering a heart attack. Torreira's sacrifice was compared to Icardi's long vacation.

It was stated that Icardi is not physically or mentally ready, and for this reason, he will not be in the starting 11 for the Gençlerbirliği match.
