The injury suffered by Lautaro Martinez immediately caused considerable concern at Appiano Gentile. Simone Inzaghi certainly can’t feel calm right now, knowing he faces a nightmarish April, in which he’ll need as many key players as possible available to tackle every match at full strength.
From the Coppa Italia semifinals against Milan, to the Champions League quarter-finals versus Bayern Munich, these games are extremely crucial for Inter, and they will need their captain on the pitch at all costs. Hence the tension last night following the official announcement by the Argentinian national team regarding Lautaro’s injury.
As confirmed this morning by La Gazzetta dello Sport, the problem is related to his hamstrings and will be evaluated more thoroughly upon the striker’s return to Italy. Lautaro has already left the Albiceleste training camp to fly back to Milan, where he will undergo detailed instrumental examinations in the next few hours. There is a risk that what initially appeared as simple fatigue in the left thigh following the match in Bergamo could actually be a mild muscle strain.
