After 42 days of absence due to the injury suffered against Bodø Glimt and his return to the field with a brace against Roma, captain Lautaro Martinez is forced to stop again due to a muscle strain.
The number 10 for the Nerazzurri, on the eve of the match against Como in which he will be forced to miss out, published a significant message on his social channels: “Y de nuevo, a poner huevos“, reads his Instagram stories.
Literally, the expression translates as “And again, to lay eggs”, but in reality it is a colloquial saying with a much deeper meaning. In Argentina, “poner huevos” has nothing to do with the literal meaning: it is a way of saying to show grit, courage, character, and determination, especially in difficult moments. It is an expression often used in sports to indicate the need to grit your teeth, react, and give everything despite adversity. In slang, it means “To show guts“.
A message that recalls all the drive and grit of the Toro, but at the same time also reveals the bitterness of the leader. The awareness of having to stay on the sidelines right in a decisive phase, not only of the championship.
Several times Lautaro has shown that he puts the team above everything, even forcing the timing when possible just to contribute and be there. Now Chivu can only wait for him again, with the match on April 26 in Turin set as the target for his return to the field.
