Report – Inter Milan Captain Still At Risk Of Missing Fiorentina Clash Due To Injury | OneFootball

Inter Milan captain Lautaro Martinez is reportedly at risk of missing Sunday’s high-stakes Serie A showdown against bottom-half Fiorentina.

According to Corriere dello Sport via FCInter1908, El Toro’s availability for the upcoming trip to Artemio Franchi is all but a foregone conclusion.

Lautaro Martinez has been in the pits for almost a month now.

Indeed, the 28-year-old striker suffered a calf injury in the first leg of Inter’s Champions League knockout tie against Bodo/Glimt.

However, Cristian Chivu had hoped to have his talismanic goal-getter fit for this weekend’s clash against La Viola.

Unfortunately, the Nerazzurri boss may have to show more patience.

Inter Milan to Face Fiorentina Without Lautaro Martinez

Lautaro was desperate to feature for Argentina against Spain in the 2026 ‘Finalissima.’

However, co-organizers UEFA and CONMEBOL have failed to find a suitable venue after the Middle East conflict ruled Qatar out as potential hosts.

Therefore, the former Racing Club center-forward was even willing to delay his return to action to time his recovery for that high-profile fixture.

It may be the case, regardless, as El Toro has yet to regain full fitness.

With Lautaro at risk of staying on the sidelines for another week, it’ll likely be up to out-of-form Marcus Thuram to finally step up in his absence.
