Inter Milan captain Lautaro Martinez should start this Saturday in the Serie A clash against Torino alongside Marcus Thuram.
The Nerazzurri stars are gradually making their way back to the club’s training center at Appiano Gentile following the international break.
Inter coach Simone Inzaghi will have little time to prepare for the upcoming fixture in Turin.
Nevertheless, Il Corriere dello Sport (via FcInterNews) expects the manager to rely on the services of his captain.
As is always the case, the South American stars are the last to rejoin the group after the break.
However, Martinez only had a brief cameo in Argentina’s most recent fixture against Peru. He only featured for 12 minutes as Lionel Messi led the world champions towards victory with a brace.
Therefore, Inter expect Lautaro to be fit enough to lead the charge against the Granata this weekend.
Thuram is on the same boat, hardly featuring in France’s 4-1 win over Scotland in Tuesday’s friendly.
Therefore, the former Borussia Monchengladbach star will likely retain his starting berth alongside the skipper in Inzaghi’s 3-5-2 formation.

Moreover, the coach doesn’t have many other options in attack anyway. Marko Arnautovic remains out with an injury, while Alexis Sanchez played for 180+ minutes in Chile’s two World Cup qualifiers.
Thus, the former Arsenal and Barcelona star is unlikely to earn a starting berth this Saturday. He’s also yet to score a goal or provide an assist since making his return to the club in the summer.
Sanchez has thus far made six appearances across all competitions, mostly coming off the bench.
