INTER ALARM: Serious injury for the team’s star! Inzaghi confirms: “We are all worried”
A bolt from the blue struck Inter during this morning’s training session in Appiano Gentile. The news is one that makes the Nerazzurri fans tremble: one of the most important players in the squad has suffered a serious ligament injury. The first to raise the alarm was coach Simone Inzaghi, visibly shaken during the extraordinary press conference held in the early afternoon.
“Unfortunately, this is a serious problem. We don’t know the exact extent yet, but the first tests indicate possible involvement of the knee ligaments. We are all very worried,” Inzaghi told reporters, underlining how much this loss could affect the crucial moment of the season.
The player involved: a pillar of Inter
Although the club has not yet released an official statement with the name of the player, sources close to the team indicate that the player involved is Lautaro Martínez , the team’s captain and top scorer. The Argentine striker, who had an extraordinary season with over 20 goals in all competitions, stopped suddenly during a possession exercise, immediately touching his right knee and grimacing in pain.
“He collapsed without contact, and everyone immediately understood that it was not a small thing,” said a witness at the training camp. Teammates, including Barella and Calhanoglu, immediately approached, concerned about the condition of their leader.
First reactions: fans anxious, team in shock
As soon as the news spread, social media exploded with messages of solidarity and hope. The hashtag #ForzaToro went viral in a few minutes, demonstrating how much Lautaro is loved by the Inter fans.
“He is our driving force, our captain, our soul. Without him it will be very hard,” wrote one fan on Twitter. Even some Nerazzurri legends like Javier Zanetti and Diego Milito have commented on the incident, hoping that the instrumental tests will deny the first, dramatic impressions.
Inside the locker room, the atmosphere seemed tense. Inzaghi, who is trying to lead Inter towards a second star, knows how much the absence of his striker can weigh in the final rush of the season.
Possible consequences: tactical choices and the market
If the injury is confirmed as a ligament tear, Lautaro risks a sideline of at least six months. This scenario would force Inter to completely reconsider their plans.
Tactically, Inzaghi may be forced to rely on Marcus Thuram as the first striker, with Arnautovic or Sanchez as alternatives. However, neither of them has so far guaranteed the same incisiveness as the Argentine.
Furthermore, the management could return to the market, perhaps anticipating the arrival of a striker already explored for June. Among the names circulating in recent weeks are those of Álvaro Morata, Mehdi Taremi and even Romelu Lukaku, for a sensational return.
The medical verdict is expected in the next few hours
At the moment, Lautaro Martínez is in a Milan clinic to undergo an MRI and other tests. The club has announced that an official medical bulletin will be released within the next 24 hours.
Meanwhile, Inter is preparing for a decisive challenge in the championship and the Coppa Italia, with a future suddenly shrouded in uncertainty. Without its symbol on the field, the road to success becomes more tortuous.
The fans, teammates and staff are waiting with bated breath, hoping that the verdict is less serious than expected. But one thing is certain: today’s injury could change the fate of an entire season.
