Inter Milan captain Lautaro Martinez resumes full training ahead of Saturday’s Derby della Madonnina encounter against AC Milan.

The Nerazzurri were slightly concerned over the conditions of their South American internationals. Of course, we’re talking about Martinez, Juan Cuadrado and Alexis Sanchez.

Following the international break, the return flight from South America can be exhausting. It can take its toll on the player’s fitness, especially ahead of a crucial fixture.

But luckily for Inter, their captain Lautaro Martinez appears to be in good shape following his return from Argentina.

According to Sky Sport via FcInterNews, the 26-year-old joined his teammates in Thursday’s training session at Appiano Gentile. He was able to train regularly.

Therefore, the striker should be able to start from the first minute against the Rossoneri on Saturday. This is a major boost for Inter coach Simone Inzaghi.

The Argentinian international has established himself as the main talisman at his club. He has been firing on all cylinders since the start of the season. He scored five goals in the first three rounds of the Serie A campaign.

On the other hand, Juan Cuadrado’s condition is less encouraging. The Colombian sustained a slight injury on international duty.

Today, the 35-year-old worked separately in training. The club’s medical staff will be monitoring his condition over the next 48 days.

Inter will eventually decide whether the former Juventus man will be in the matchday squad for the Derby clash.
