Lautaro Martínez misses Inter–Shakhtar: sidelined at least three weeks
Inter start the league phase with zero points after losses to Real Madrid and Club Brugge, hunting their first win tonight.
Inter face a crucial Champions League game with Lautaro Martínez ruled out: the striker will miss at least three weeks due to a muscular injury in the left thigh’s hip flexors.
The Nerazzurri arrive under pressure after a winless start. They lost both opening matches, 2-1 at the Bernabéu versus Real Madrid and 3-4 at home against Club Brugge KV, leaving them with no points so far in the league phase. EFE highlights the added problem for coach Cristian Chivu after Lautaro’s injury.
Shakhtar, led by Arda Turan, come with four points: a first-match draw away to PSV and a 3-1 win over AEK Athens. Inter’s probable XI includes J. Martínez; Bisseck, Akanji, Bastoni; Diouf, Barella, Calhanoglu, Mkhitaryan, Dimarco; Thuram, Esposito.
