Lautaro Martinez Set to Miss Milan Derby After Injury

Inter captain Lautaro Martinez will miss the derby against AC Milan on October 31 after suffering a strain in his left thigh, the Italian club announced.

The Argentine striker is expected to return after the November international break, meaning he could miss up to seven matches for Inter in all competitions.

The games he is set to miss include fixtures against Bologna, Shakhtar Donetsk, Fiorentina, Venezia, AC Milan, Feyenoord and Como.

The injury comes just two days after Martinez scored twice in Inter’s 4-3 home defeat to Club Brugge in the Champions League. The striker has recorded six goals and one assist in seven matches since the start of the season.
