Inter Milan Captain Tends To Shine After International Break As Nerazzurri Bid To Bounce Back Vs Juventus | OneFootball

Lautaro Martinez will be among the last Inter Milan stars to come back to Appiano Gentile from the international break.

According to Tuttosport via FCInterNews, El Toro’s late return may not affect his performance this weekend.

Inter will take on Juventus in the latest edition of the famous Derby d’Italia on Saturday.

Furthermore, Cristian Chivu’s charges will be out to atone for a dismal 2-1 home loss to Udinese last time out.

With Napoli going two from two, the Nerazzurri cannot afford another early setback.

As such, Chivu needs all hands on deck, especially now that he prepares for his first managerial appearance in the derby.

Lautaro Martinez traditionally fares well immediately after the international break.

Indeed, he scored a decisive goal in a narrow 1-0 win over Roma last October.

Moreover, El Toro found the net the last time Inter and Juventus met immediately after the pause.

He was on the scoresheet in a 1-1 draw in November 2023. Additionally, he got on the board against Torino a month earlier.
