Inter Milan aims to regain momentum in the Serie A title race against Roma after recent setbacks.
According to Italian media, Martinez is set to be sidelined for around a month after suffering a calf injury during Inter's shock Champions League play-off first leg loss to Bodo/Glimt in midweek. The Argentinian went off in the second half, and Inter confirmed the injury following medical tests on Friday. Inter have the second leg against the Norwegian side to come next week, as well as league clashes with Genoa, rivals AC Milan, Atalanta and a Coppa Italia semi-final first leg against Como during his expected time out. "The examinations revealed a strain to the soleus muscle in his left calf. The condition of the Argentine forward will be reassessed next week," Inter said in a statement released on their website.
Fabio Capello believes that AC Milan are lacking a decisive player like Lautaro Martinez, but if they beat Roma they must aim for the title. Milan began the 2025-26 season under Massimiliano Allegri with the main objective being Champions League qualification, after the eighth-placed finish in the last campaign. So far things are looking good, with a seven-point gap to fifth place.
Barcelona's search for a long-term successor to Robert Lewandowski appears to be expanding beyond La Liga and deep into Serie A. According to new reporting from Fichajes, Inter Milan captain Lautaro Martinez has once again emerged as a name of serious interest within the Catalan club's sporting department. With Barça planning for the future of their forward line, the Argentine striker is seen as one of the few profiles capable of delivering both immediate impact and long-term value.
Yesterday we lost, and it hurt. I felt sadness, not just as a player, but as someone who truly cares. Even though I'm currently injured, I picked up the phone right after the match and called a few team-mates to lift their spirits, because that's what you do when you care about your team.
Lautaro Martinez had various clinical and instrumental examinations this morning at the Humanitas Institute in Rozzano. It was found that the Argentine forward has an elongation of the flexor muscles in his left thigh. His conditions will continue to be reviewed day by day.
