The latest updates have eased the fears of Inter Milan and their supporters over the condition of club captain Lautaro Martinez.
The Nerazzurri had a torrid evening on Wednesday as they hosted Bologna in the Coppa Italia Round of 16. The Argentine star, in particular, would certainly like to put last night’s action behind him as soon as possible.
The 26-year-old squandered a spot-kick in the second half before leaving the pitch in extra time while suffering from some pain in his left adductor.
Moreover, the striker could only sit in the dugout and watch Bologna turn the match upside-down in the final minutes of extra time. The Rossoblu beat the Nerazzurri by two goals to one, thus knocking them out of the competition.
The 2022 World Cup winner was also covering his face with a blanket while on the bench, sparking concerns among Inter supporters.
But luckily for the Beneamata, their talisman’s condition doesn’t seem to be as serious as initially feared.
According to La Gazzetta dello Sport via FcInterNews, Martinez was only feeling some exhaustion after leaving the pitch. This is how the pink newspaper justifies the player’s gesture.
Therefore, the source believes that there will be no alarm bells at Appiano Gentile concerning Lautaro’s condition.
We will certainly learn more about the player’s physical state in the coming hours.
