Inter Milan captain Lautaro Martinez is facing a month-long recovery period after sustaining a serious calf injury during a Champions League match against Bodo/Glimt.
Inter Milan talisman Lautaro Martinez is expected to miss at least one month following a calf injury sustained against Bodo/Glimt.
Manager Cristian Chivu substituted his captain midway through the second half after cameras spotted the Argentine clutching his thigh.
During the post-match conference, Chivu confirmed the situation looked “serious,” leaving the Serie A leaders without their top goalscorer for crucial upcoming fixtures.
The injury rules “El Toro” out of next week’s vital return leg at the San Siro.
With 14 league goals this season, Martinez’s absence creates a significant void in the Nerazzurri attack.
Chivu must now rely on Marcus Thuram to lead the line during a period that includes a home clash against Genoa. Fans hope for a swift recovery for their standout performer.
