Report – Argentina Striker Could Make Cameo Appearance In Fiorentina Vs Inter Milan Showdown | OneFootball

Inter Milan talisman Lautaro Martinez could make his long-awaited return to action this weekend when the Nerazzurri face Fiorentina.

According to Gazzetta dello Sport via FCInterNews, El Toro could make the matchday squad, but he is more likely to start from the bench.

Cristian Chivu lost his most prolific striker to a calf injury during the first leg of Inter’s Champions League knockout tie against Bodo/Glimt.

As a result, Lautaro Martinez has missed Inter’s last four matches in all competitions.

Worryingly, the Nerazzurri claimed just one win in that sequence, going winless in their last three outings while failing to score in two.

With Marcus Thuram terminally unable to rediscover his form, Lautaro cannot recover soon enough.

Indeed, Chivu’s charges have faltered without their captain, as most recently witnessed by a controversial home draw against Atalanta.

However, El Toro has resumed full training and could get some minutes at Artemio Franchi on Sunday.

Meanwhile, Inter will be out to snap a three-game winless streak and maintain their stranglehold on the Scudetto.

Chviu’s men currently boast an eight-point lead over second-placed AC Milan, who slipped to a 1-0 loss at Lazio last weekend.
