Injury Confirmed After Champions League Outing
Inter Milan captain Lautaro Martínez sustained a left hamstring strain during Tuesday's Champions League fixture against Club Brugge. He completed the full match and contributed two goals in the 4-3 result. Medical checks on Thursday confirmed the issue, leaving the player unavailable for an extended period that covers seven fixtures.
Fixtures Impacted by Absence
The forward will miss the trip to Bologna, the Champions League encounter with Shakhtar Donetsk, matches against Fiorentina and Venezia, the derby against AC Milan on Oct. 31, plus games with Feyenoord and Como. His return is expected after the international break, with Inter's first post-break fixture set at Atalanta on Nov. 22.
Strong Form Before Setback
Martínez has recorded six goals across seven appearances in the Champions League and Serie A this season. He led Serie A scoring last season with 17 goals and added two more for Argentina during the recent international window against Bolivia and Burkina Faso.
