Lautaro Martinez, the decision is already made
The condition of Lautaro Martinez
Inter will be back on the field tomorrow against Lecce, determined to overcome the unfortunate night in the Coppa Italia against Bologna and maintain their leadership in the standings. However, it will have to do so without the presence of Lautaro Martinez, who, following examinations carried out this morning, will not be risked just three days after the muscle strain that forced him off the field in the first extra time of the challenge against the Emiliani.
As much as it is hoped that it is only a mild fatigue, coach Simone Inzaghi decided not to take any risks and opted to use Arnautovic alongside Thuram. Failure to do so would in fact open up the risk of a prolonged and complicated recovery period. Inter's determination never fails, even in the face of these difficulties.
Examinations are scheduled for the morning and in a few hours we will finally have the expected answers. Speaking of the new test awaiting Arnautovic, who has been disappointing so far, today's training session will provide Simone Inzaghi with more answers, with particular attention to the return of Sanchez and De Vrij among the summoned players, useful in the necessary field rotations, although both destined for the bench.
Against the Apulians, the starting midfield è returned to full strength with Calhanoglu, Barella and Mkhitaryan, while the outfield will see Darmian on the right and Dimarco on the left, who, by the way, could soon announce a contract extension. As for the defensive line, Acerbi and Bastoni already have the jersey, but Bisseck and Pavard are competing for the position, with the German proving his worth in recent appearances and the Frenchman trying to regain his form after his injury against Atalanta.
