Can Inter Milan lose everything in the space of a few days? Secondly of Serie A with three points behind Naples, the Milanese must count on a failure of the Neapolitans while succeeding in a perfect course in the championship to hope to keep their national crown.
But at the same time, they must also focus on the Champions League. On Wednesday, they conceded a completely crazy draw on the lawn of Barça. After leading 2-0 then 3-2, they finally had to be satisfied with a 3-3. Not necessarily a bad result with the favor of the home return match.
A distension in the flexors of the left thigh
But to reverse the Blaugrana and capsize Happiness San Siro, Simone Inzaghi faces a huge problem: the possible absence of her captain and offensive leader Lautaro Martinez. The Argentinian, victim of a distension in the flexors of the left thigh, had left the lawn of Montjuic on the verge of tears: “The Argentinian striker suffers from an elongation at the level of the flexors of the left thigh. The state of the nerazzurro striker will be evaluated day after day”, it was then said in a press release.
And the more the kick -off of the return match is approaching, the more optimism is reduced to the other side of the Alps. The daily AS Affirms that it would even be “a miracle” so that he can be back to accompany Marcus Thuram on the front of the attack.
-An almost official absence
Internally, we would not even focus on this shock, but rather on the trip to the Torino lawn scheduled for next Sunday on the occasion of a new capital duel in the run on the title.
In Italy, the Corriere dello Sport still tries to maintain the suspense. In any case, this is what the medical staff tries to believe. Until the last minute, they will put everything in place to be able to rely on Lautaro Martinez. Inzaghi will therefore have to find a new solution to disturb the Spanish defense.
But with 21 goals and six assists in 47 games in all competitions this season, Lautaro Martinez will not replace as easily as that.
To summarize
Inter Milan, second in Serie A, must hope for a false step of Naples to keep its title. In the Champions League, after a 3-3 draw against Barcelona, the team could be deprived of his captain Lautaro Martinez, injured, for the return match.
