Inter Milan captain Lautaro Martinez has been far from his talismanic form at the beginning of the 2024/25 Serie A season.

According to Tuttosport, as reported by FCInterNews, El Toro is at risk of maintaining his ‘poor’ form until mid-December.

With November’s international break on the horizon, Martinez’s hopes of overcoming a torrid star faces another obstacle.

Indeed, that’s the last thing the 27-year-old needs as he bids to return to form.

Martinez drew a blank as Inter and Juventus shared the spoils in a remarkable 4-4 draw on Sunday.

Worryingly, it was his sixth scoreless Serie A outing in eight this season, testifying to his disappointing fall from grace.

The ex-Racing Club’s form at the start of Inter’s Scudetto defense is a far cry from his sterling exploits last term.

He netted 24 league goals en route to winning his maiden Capocannoniere award.

In doing so, Lautaro Martinez carved his name in the Nerazzurri folklore, leading them to their 20th Serie A title.

Inter Milan Star Lautaro Martinez Form Threatened By November International Break

After finishing seventh in the Ballon d’Or race, Martinez returns to his club duties on Wednesday.

Indeed, Inter head to Stadio Carlo Castellani to take on perennial strugglers Empoli in a must-win clash.

That could be a presentable opportunity for the Argentine center-forward to regain confidence.

However, there’s a chance he could move to the bench.

Simone Inzaghi reportedly considers teaming up Mehdi Taremi and Marcus Thuram up front in Tuscany.

Leaving his skipper on the bench could be counterproductive as Martinez hopes to return to form.

But Inter will play three more games before the next international break.

In addition to Serie A clashes against Venezia and Napoli, they’ll lock horns with Arsenal in the UEFA Champions League.

That fixture could be Martinez’s chance to shine after failing to score in two of his first three continental appearances.
