Story summary

Inter Milan captain Lautaro Martínez will likely miss his team's next seven matches, including a crucial derby against city rivals AC Milan on October 31, due to a hamstring strain. Despite scoring two goals in Inter’s recent Champions League match against Club Brugge on Tuesday, medical tests revealed the injury on Thursday. The Argentine striker is expected to sit out upcoming fixtures against Bologna, Shakhtar Donetsk, Fiorentina, Venezia, Feyenoord, and Como before returning after the international break on November 22 for a match against Atalanta. Lautaro’s absence is significant given his impressive start to this season with six goals in seven matches across both Serie A and the Champions League.
