Inter Milan Duo Martinez and Mkhitaryan Push for Fitness Ahead of Roma Clash
Inter Milan forward Lautaro Martinez and midfielder Henrikh Mkhitaryan are both working to regain full fitness in time for the Serie A match against Roma, according to recent reports. Both players have been sidelined with injuries, but are making progress ahead of the crucial fixture.
Lautaro Martinez’s Recovery
Lautaro Martinez has been out of action since mid-February after sustaining a calf injury during Inter’s Champions League match against Bodo/Glimt. Gazzetta dello Sport reports, via FCInter1908, that there is a good chance the Argentine striker will recover during the international break. His absence has been felt by the team, with Inter securing only one win in the six matches he has missed. Tribuna also notes that Martinez has a better chance of recovering during the international break.
Mkhitaryan’s Progress
Mkhitaryan has been battling a muscle strain leading up to the international break. Like Martinez, he is eager to be available for the match against Roma. SemperInter reports that both players are working around the clock to recover.
Impact on Inter Milan
The potential return of both Martinez and Mkhitaryan would be a significant boost for Inter Milan, who have struggled for consistency in recent weeks. Inter has not secured a win in their last three league outings, representing their longest winless streak in Serie A since 2023. With AC Milan only six points behind in the Serie A standings, Inter needs to regain their form quickly to maintain their position at the top of the table.
Looking Ahead
The match against Roma is set to be a challenging encounter for Inter Milan. The availability of Martinez and Mkhitaryan will be crucial to their chances of securing a positive result. The international break provides a valuable opportunity for both players to recover and prepare for the upcoming clash.
