Martinez was understandably out of contention for last night’s 3-0 home victory over Fiorentina.

Furthermore, Inter will not force the former Genoa stopper’s premature return.

Instead, the club will give Martinez the time he needs to mentally recover from this tragic event.

Meanwhile, the Nerazzurri yesterday contacted the victim’s family to offer their condolences.

As for Martinez, several witnesses confirmed he was not at fault for the tragic incident, describing it as an unavoidable accident.
