Inter awaits with apprehension the results of the instrumental tests that, after the injury, Lautaro Martinez will undergo in the coming hours. The muscle problem suffered by the Nerazzurri captain risks keeping him away from the pitch for a significant period, putting the team in difficulty at a crucial moment of the season.
According to Corriere dello Sport, the feeling is that up to three weeks of recovery may be needed. If this timeframe is confirmed, the Argentine striker would definitely miss the derby and also the subsequent matches against Atalanta and Fiorentina, as well as the first leg of the Coppa Italia semifinal, before the international break.
On the front of the other injuries, however, more comforting news arrives. Piotr Zielinski is confident he can be available already for the away match against Lecce, albeit not at 100%. But his availability would be fundamental, given the simultaneous absences of Calhanoglu and Barella due to suspension and the possible absence of Frattesi as well.
The Nerazzurri club remains strongly annoyed at having had to play the Champions match on a pitch deemed inadequate for the standards of the European competition. A situation that has fueled further concerns about the players’ conditions.
