Inter’s Lautaro Martínez is facing a long layoff after suffering an injury during their Champions League semifinal match against Barcelona. He left the field at halftime, and the club hasn’t disclosed the extent of his injury yet.
The Italian media reports that Martínez won’t be available for the second leg against Barcelona unless there’s a miracle.
Inter coach Simone Inzaghi admitted that he had to push Martínez and other key players too hard during the match. Inzaghi said it’s “tough” for Martínez to recover in time for the second leg.
The club is focusing on getting Martínez back for their last three Serie A games against Torino, Lazio, and Como.
This season, Martínez has 24 goal contributions in 47 games.
