Inter Milan goal-getter Lautaro Martinez is reportedly on the verge of regaining full fitness after renewing a niggling calf injury earlier in April.
According to Gazzetta dello Sport via FCInterNews, El Toro is unlikely to be at Cristian Chivu’s disposal for Sunday’s away clash against Torino.
Lautaro Martinez has endured an injury-hit start to the new calendar year.
Despite making his long-awaited return to action against Roma immediately after the international break, he has missed Inter’s last two Serie A fixtures.
Furthermore, Cristian Chivu was unable to call upon his most prolific striker for Tuesday’s stunning Coppa Italia win over Como.
Lautaro is unlikely to feature in Sunday’s match at Stadio Olimpico Grande Torino.
Instead, he is looking to return for Inter’s next home game against bottom-half Parma on May 3.
Indeed, the 28-year-old is reluctant to risk aggravating his condition ahead of the heavily anticipated Coppa Italia final in mid-May.
Moreover, with the 2026 FIFA World Cup just around the corner, the Argentine superstar is unwilling to take unnecessary risks.
Therefore, Francesco Pio Esposito could return to the starting lineup this weekend after surrendering his place to Ange-Yoan Bonny in midweek Coppa Italia action.
