Inter Milan has confirmed that their star striker, Lautaro Martinez, has sustained a muscle strain in the soleus muscle of his left leg. Reports from Italy suggest this injury will sideline the Argentine forward for approximately two weeks.
The news comes as a blow to Inter, who are currently leading Serie A. Martinez had only recently returned to action after a previous muscle issue, marking his comeback with two goals in a decisive 5-2 victory against Roma last Sunday.
The club issued an official statement detailing the injury: “Lautaro Martinez underwent clinical and instrumental examinations today at the Humanitas Institute in Rozzano. The tests revealed a mild muscle strain in the soleus muscle of his left leg. The Argentine striker’s condition will be reassessed in the coming days.”
Sky Sport Italia has reported that Martinez is expected to be out of action for at least two weeks. During his previous absence due to a similar muscle problem, Inter’s performance saw them win two out of seven games, with three draws and two losses.
Inter currently holds a seven-point lead at the top of the Serie A table with seven rounds remaining. Their next fixture is an away game against Cesc Fabregas’ Como on Sunday, April 12.
Martinez has been a crucial player for Inter this season, leading the Serie A scoring charts with 16 goals in 26 appearances.
