"According to Italian media, Martinez is set to be sidelined for around a month after suffering a calf injury during Inter's shock Champions League play-off first leg loss to Bodo/Glimt in midweek. The Argentinian went off in the second half, and Inter confirmed the injury following medical tests on Friday. Inter have the second leg against the Norwegian side to come next week, as well as league clashes with Genoa, rivals AC Milan, Atalanta and a Coppa Italia semi-final first leg against Como during his expected time out. "The examinations revealed a strain to the soleus muscle in his left calf. The condition of the Argentine forward will be reassessed next week," Inter said in a statement released on their website."
"Inter are top of the pile in Serie A heading into the weekend, holding a seven-point lead over Milan at the summit. They face a Lecce side who moved out of the relegation zone after back-to-back wins, and they now have a three-point buffer over the drop. Inter, meanwhile, are on a six-game winning streak in Serie A after a 3-2 win over Juventus last weekend."
Lautaro Martinez suffered a left calf injury during Inter's Champions League play-off first leg loss to Bodo/Glimt and is expected to be sidelined for around a month. Medical examinations revealed a strain to the soleus muscle in his left calf, and his condition will be reassessed next week. Inter must play the second leg against Bodo/Glimt and have league matches against Genoa, AC Milan and Atalanta, plus a Coppa Italia semi-final first leg against Como during his expected absence. Inter top Serie A by seven points and are on a six-game winning streak after beating Juventus 3-2. Cristian Chivu has recorded 20 wins in his first 25 top-flight matches in charge. The Juventus victory was affected by a red card to Pierre Kalulu, and former coach Fabio Capello criticised Chivu's handling of the refereeing controversy.
