Torino Vs Inter Milan – Nerazzurri Receive Major Injury Boost As Argentina Superstar Could Make Matchday Squad | OneFootball

Inter Milan captain Lautaro Martinez could be in contention for the squad for Sunday’s Serie A clash against Torino.

According to Sky Sport Italia via FCInterNews, El Toro could be part of the traveling squad against the odds.

Lautaro Martinez has been struggling with injury since mid-February.

Indeed, he suffered a calf problem during Inter’s fateful Champions League tie against Bodo/Glimt two months ago.

Despite scoring twice on his return against Roma earlier in April, the Argentine has missed back-to-back Serie A games since.

Furthermore, Cristian Chivu was unable to call upon his star striker for Tuesday’s Coppa Italia win over Como.

Lautaro Martinez Could Recover for Torino vs Inter Milan Clash

With Inter boasting a 12-point lead over second-placed Napoli, Chivu has no need to rush El Toro’s premature return.

However, the 28-year-old has resumed training and hopes to make the bench on Sunday.

Indeed, even if he gets the call-up, Lautaro is likely to start on the bench, with Marcus Thuram and Francesco Pio Esposito expected to lead the line.

Meanwhile, the former Racing Club star could return to the starting lineup when the Nerazzurri take on Parma at San Siro on May 3.

More importantly, he should be ready for Inter’s Coppa Italia final against Lazio in mid-May.
