Inter Milan Captain To Play A Few Minutes Vs Como To Gain Fitness For Champions League Final Vs PSG | OneFootball

Inter Milan captain Lautaro Martinez will play a few minutes against Como in order to gain fitness for the Champions League final against PSG.

This according to today’s print edition of Milan-based newspaper Gazzetta dello Sport, via FCInterNews.

Inter Milan captain Lautaro Martinez is back from injury.

The Argentine had suffered a muscle problem in April. He picked up an elongation in his thigh flexor muscles during the first leg of Inter’s Champions League semifinal tie against Barcelona.

That caused Martinez to miss Inter’s subsequent Serie A match against Hellas Verona.

However, the Nerazzurri captain was straight back into the team for the second leg against Barcelona.

Martinez gritted his teeth and started that match. And it would be fair to say that he had the desired impact, scoring Inter’s opener and then winning the penalty for their second goal.

However, Martinez worsened his injury with that appearance. Therefore, he’s missed out on subsequent Serie A matches against Torino and Lazio.

Lautaro Martinez has recovered from his muscle injury, however.

Therefore, the 27-year-old will be in the squad against Como in this evening’s Serie A final day clash.

That does not mean, however, that Martinez will come straight back into the Nerazzurri starting eleven.

On the contrary, the Inter captain is still easing back to fitness.

Therefore, the idea will be that Martinez features for a spell in the second half. This will allow him to get some minutes in his legs and start to build match rhythm.

Martinez wants to be at 100% come the Champions League final next weekend.

The Nerazzurri captain was not able to see out the ninety minutes against Barcelona, or the extra time period.

However, if the final goes the distance, Martinez wants to be ready to play all 120 minutes of football against PSG.
