Mauro posted a video showing him jogging on the green turf. He captioned it with the words, "April 1, 2025. First run 4 months after surgery."

It is expected that Icardi will be able to return to full training only by the beginning of summer. Thus, he won't be able to play for his club this season and will instead prepare for the start of the next one.

Before the injury, Icardi had played 14 matches for Galatasaray in all competitions, scoring 6 goals and providing 2 assists.

While the rehabilitation process is ongoing, Icardi is also dealing with personal issues—he is attempting to divorce his wife Wanda Nara. The procedure is accompanied by regular scandals and disputes between the former couple as they contest custody of their children, finances, and property.
