Inter Milan’s injuries crisis has reached worrying levels this season, with the numbers behind the Nerazzurri’s absentee list making for grim reading as Lautaro Martinez joins a lengthy casualty list.
According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, via FCInterNews, Inter’s injured players have missed a combined 67 league appearances and 95 across all competitions this season.
Indeed, a staggering toll that has tested the squad’s depth throughout the campaign.
Lautaro himself had already missed seven matches with a calf problem sustained in Norway against Bodø/Glimt before picking up his latest setback.
He will now sit out fixtures against Como, in both Serie A and the Coppa Italia, as well as Cagliari, with the Torino match also potentially coming too soon.
