Inter Milan captain and leading goalscorer Lautaro Martinez is expected to feature in the team’s final game of the Serie A season against Como on Friday night.
Martinez suffered a flexor injury in the first leg of the Champions League semi-final against Barcelona but has been recovering well. Although he has missed the last two Serie A matches, reports suggest he will return to training with the first team either on Tuesday or Wednesday.
This means Martinez is in contention to play against Como, which could be crucial as the match is a title decider. Inter are one point behind Napoli in second place, and a win would give them a chance to win the title if Napoli fails to win or draws against Cagliari.
Regardless of the Serie A outcome, Martinez is expected to start in the Champions League final against Paris Saint-Germain on May 31. By then, he will have had over a week of training, which should give him enough time to regain his fitness.
The boost will be welcome news for Inter, who will be looking to add to their Champions League title with a potential Serie A win. Martinez’s return will undoubtedly give his team a significant advantage in their pursuit of silverware.
