Inter to make the late Lautaro Martinez before the Champions League second leg against Barcelona

After the semi -finals of the Champion League, Inter will make a late call to Lautaro Martinez ‘availability on Tuesday.

The 27-year-old Martinez seemed to fulfill a muscle injury in the first leg on Wednesday and was replaced by Mehdi Taremi at the beginning of the second half. He still has to return to complete training and missed the victory on Saturday via Verona.

Defense attorney Benjamin Pavard missed the first leg of the last week and the victory of Series A at the weekend. Inter -head coach Simone Inzaghi confirmed that Pavard had returned to training on Monday and was available against the second leg.

“We will decide with the players themselves together with the medical staff because they have to tell me their own feelings,” said Inzaghi during the press conference on Monday, as cited by the Associated Press.

“Pavard took part in the first part of the training yesterday, he didn’t feel much, so we will see.

Martinez scored 21 goals and added six templates for Inter in all competitions this season.

The Argentina striker had been exposed to 2-2, and the game ended 3: 3 before returning on Tuesday in San Siro. Inzaghi was initially more pessimistic about Martinez’s chances of being asked full -time in the second leg.

“Lautaro felt something in his leg and we will know more tomorrow after we have carried out a few tests, but it seems extremely unlikely that he can make it to the second leg what will be a final for us,” Inzaghi told the game on Wednesday after the game on Wednesday.

“We hope that we can return next Tuesday, but I don’t think we can expect the same from Lautaro. It will be a final for us and I count on 75,000 of our fans to help each other to achieve this remarkable performance.”
