Lautaro Martínez Suffers Muscle Injury During Champions League Clash
Inter Milan captain Lautaro Martínez sustained a muscle injury during the first leg of their UEFA Champions League semifinal against Barcelona on April 30, 2025. The Argentine forward began experiencing discomfort in the flexor muscles of his left thigh toward the end of the first half. Although he managed to finish the opening 45 minutes, he did not return after halftime and was substituted by Mehdi Taremi.
Manager Simone Inzaghi expressed concern over Martínez’s fitness, casting doubt on his availability for the second leg. Inzaghi remarked that it appeared highly unlikely the striker would recover in time for what he described as a decisive match.
Martínez’s absence would be a significant blow to Inter Milan, as he has been instrumental this season, registering 21 goals and six assists across all competitions. The first-leg encounter ended in a thrilling 3-3 draw, setting the stage for a crucial return fixture at San Siro, with Inter closely monitoring the striker’s recovery.
