Inter Milan is gearing up for a pivotal phase of the season with significant news that could shift momentum: the imminent return of its captain, Lautaro Martínez. The Argentine forward has been tirelessly working, utilizing the international break to intensify his recovery and ensure he is ready for the most critical period of the year. This provides a crucial boost not only for the coaching staff but also for the entire Nerazzurri environment, which eagerly awaits the return of its offensive leader after weeks on the sidelines. His recovery is being managed cautiously, but the positive signs indicate an imminent comeback.
Lautaro Accelerates: Roma in Sight
The Inter captain, who was not called up by Argentina coach Lionel Scaloni for the friendly against Mauritania on March 28, has used these days to push his rehabilitation at Appiano Gentile. Barring any unforeseen setbacks, his return is close. Lautaro aims to be available for coach Chivu for the match against Roma, scheduled for Sunday, April 5, at 8:45 PM. The 1997-born player has been out since the away game against Bodø/Glimt on February 18, when he suffered a muscle strain in the soleus of his left leg. Since then, the Nerazzurri medical staff has carefully managed his recovery, avoiding risks and striving to deliver their key player back to the coach in the best possible condition.
Lautaro isn’t the only one: Mkhitaryan also remained at Appiano during the break, dealing with a problem in the biceps femoris of his left thigh, which forced him to miss the game against Fiorentina. However, unlike Martínez, his return appears further off; it’s unlikely he will feature against the Giallorossi. His target is set for the subsequent league match against Como, slated for April 16.
