Inter’s difficult Champions League start has brought a further concern away from the result sheet, with Lautaro Martinez diagnosed with a muscle problem after the defeat to Bruges.
Inter await Lautaro’s recovery
- Inter suffered their second Champions League loss in as many matches against Bruges, leaving the Nerazzurri without a point in the competition.
- Lautaro Martinez scored twice in the European fixture, but finished the match with a physical issue.
- The Inter captain underwent instrumental examinations on Wednesday morning at the Humanitas Institute in Rozzano.
- The club confirmed that he has sustained discomfort in the flexor muscles of his left thigh.
The diagnosis adds to the pressure around Inter at a demanding point of the season. Martinez’s two goals were not enough to prevent another European setback, and his condition now becomes a matter for the coaching staff as they assess his availability for the next commitments.
Inter have not announced a recovery timetable. The immediate focus will be on monitoring the Argentine forward’s response in the coming days, with the club already needing to address a Champions League campaign that has begun with two defeats.
