Lautaro Martinez, Argentine forward and Inter captain, is sidelined for the upcoming World Cup qualifiers against Uruguay and Brazil due to a hamstring injury. Despite having shown good form with Inter, scoring in a recent match against Atalanta, medical evaluations revealed the injury was serious enough to withdraw him from the two crucial qualifying matches. Martinez's absence adds to Argentina's injury woes, as they also miss several key players like Lionel Messi and Paulo Dybala, just as they look to maintain their lead in the standings.
Inter captain Lautaro Martinez has been ruled out of Argentina's upcoming World Cup qualifiers against Uruguay and Brazil due to a hamstring injury.
Despite linking up with his Argentina team-mates, Martinez has since been ruled out with a hamstring problem, with tests showing the injury was worse than first feared.
Argentina have won eight of their 12 matches so far (D1 L3) and are five points clear of Uruguay, while they have also scored more goals (21).
Argentina take on Uruguay this Friday in what is the first meeting between the two sides since 2023, when Ronald Araujo and Darwin Nunez led Marcelo Bielsa's team to a 2-0 win.
