Inter Milan captain Lautaro Martinez has returned to full training with his teammates, ahead of Sunday’s Serie A match against Sassuolo.
According to Sky Sport journalist Matteo Barzaghi on X, the Inter star has overcome the back pain that led him to miss Wednesday’s win over Ajax.
Inter beat the Dutch giants 2-0 in Amsterdam in their Champions League opener.
Young forward Francesco Pio Esposito stepped into the team in the captain’s absence and formed a good partnership with Marcus Thuram.
Inter Milan Captain Lautaro Martinez Returns To Full Training
The news that Martinez has returned to full training is good news for the Nerazzurri.
The captain will therefore be favourite to start in Sunday’s match against Sassuolo.
Pio Esposito will move to the bench and the Argentine will star alongside in-form Marcus Thuram.
However, there is still a day to go before Inter welcome the Neroverdi to San Siro.
If there are any doubts over the fitness of Martinez, he may still start from the bench.
In this case, Chivu could give the nod to Pio.
