Martinez Nears Inter Return: Can He Save Their Season?
13 Mar
Summary
- Inter wins 77% of games with Martinez, dropping to 40% without him.
- The team has scored only five goals in five games during his absence.
- Martinez targets a return for the Fiorentina match on March 22nd.
Lautaro Martinez is nearing a return for Inter Milan, with his sights set on the Serie A fixture against Fiorentina on March 22nd. After 22 days of treatment and gym work, the Argentina captain has entered the second phase of his rehabilitation, and his comeback is timely. The calf injury that has kept him out is no longer causing pain, a welcome sign for the team.
Statistics highlight Inter's struggles in Martinez's absence. The team wins 77% of matches with him in the lineup, a figure that plummets to 40% without him. Since he has been sidelined, Inter has managed only five goals in five games, failing to score in their last two encounters against Como and Milan.
Martinez's influence transcends statistics; he embodies Inter's spirit, easing pressure on new arrivals and leading by example. Even when unavailable, he remains an invested leader, as demonstrated by his vocal protests on the sidelines during the recent derby. Argentina is also monitoring his recovery, hoping for his availability for the Finalissima against Spain on March 27th, although he may have limited minutes prior to that match.
