Inter Milan captain Lautaro Martinez is on the verge of returning to the squad from an untimely thigh injury.
Per Gazzetta dello Sport via FCInterNews, the 27-year-old will return to full training between today and tomorrow.
El Toro trained separately from the group yesterday after missing out on a controversial 2-2 draw against Lazio last weekend.
However, the Nerazzurri superstar should be in contention for Friday’s final-day trip to Como.
Furthermore, Simone Inzaghi should have his skipper available for the Champions League final against Paris Saint-Germain.
With Inter trailing Serie A leaders Napoli by a point, victory at the lake is imperative.
However, even if they hold up their end of the bargain, Inter would need Cagliari to avoid defeat against Antonio Conte’s side.
Therefore, Inzaghi’s hopes of defending the Scudetto look slim.
Yet, the Argentine striker’s return can put a smile back on the 49-year-old’s face ahead of the Munich showpiece.
Two years after losing to Manchester City, Inter can ascend the European throne.
And Lautaro could be a crucial component.
