Lautaro Martinez is set to miss Inter's Serie A matchup against Hellas Verona due to a thigh injury sustained during a recent draw with Barcelona. Initially, it seems the injury isn't severe, with a projected return in about a week. While Inter's record without him this season is strong, they are currently struggling, having gone winless in five matches, including two consecutive league losses. They face a Verona team against whom they have historically been dominant at home, as they strive to maintain their position in the Serie A title race behind Napoli.
Lautaro Martinez had various clinical and instrumental examinations this morning at the Humanitas Institute in Rozzano. It was found that the Argentine forward has an elongation of the flexor muscles in his left thigh. His conditions will continue to be reviewed day by day.
In the three Serie A games that Martinez has not played in this season, Inter have a 100% winning record (three games), with the team managing nine goals across those wins without him.
April and May are the two months in which Simone Inzaghi's teams have historically suffered the most defeats in Serie A (12 in each month).
The Nerazzurri go into the game with Verona having lost their last two league games against Roma and Bologna without scoring. They have not lost three consecutive Serie A matches since April 2023.
