Inter Milan will be vastly concerned by the condition of Lautaro Martinez who’s now set for an exhausting international break.
The newly-appointed captain has been on spectacular form since the start of the new campaign. He has already scored five goals in the first three Serie A fixtures.
The 26-year-old’s exploits helped the Nerazzurri maintain a perfect start to the campaign. They now sit on top of the league standings, sharing the spot with their crosstown rivals AC Milan.
Ironically, the Rossoneri will be Inter’s next rivals straight after the international break. This be will a much-anticipated Derby della Madonnina between two clubs who started the season brilliantly.
But unfortunately for Inter, this clash arguably came at an inconvenient timing, argues La Gazzetta dello Sport via FcInterNews.
As the source explains, Lautaro Martinez will join the Argentine national team for the grueling trip to La Paz.
The World Champions will take on Bolivia on the night between Tuesday 12th and Wednesday 13th September.
The Pink newspaper explains that this World Cup qualifier will take place at over 3600 meters altitude. The low oxygen levels will certainly drain the players.
The Condition Of Lautaro Martinez Following An Exhausting International Break Will Keep Inter Milan Sweating
Add a long and tiresome trip to the equation, and the source expects Lautaro to be far from his optimal condition for the Derby which will ensue on Saturday 16th.
Moreover, the report reveals how the Argentine players who play in Europe can no longer take advantage of the special arrangements provided for Lionel Messi. They used to accompany the Barcelona legend on a private jet to Europe.
But nowadays, the iconic star plies his trade at Inter Miami, leaving Lautaro and others to find their way back to the Old Continent on less glamorous paths.
Therefore, Inter will be hoping for the best, but the condition of their talisman will keep Simone Inzaghi sweating for the next ten days or so.
