Indeed, there is still no player who can replace Lautaro Martinez's role at Inter. He has always been Inter's attack motor and is also the current top scorer. The injury suffered will of course be a blow to Inter and also Inzaghi who must make a strategy to be able to fight back against Atletico. because it was clear that the fate of the two teams was not so good when they had to meet earlier. in the round of 16.
Just hope that before the second match, Lautaro Martinez can be confirmed as recovered. Inzaghi may not be able to force the healing process. but he certainly hoped he wouldn't be long.
I think this is something that no team wants. Injuries to key players have a very negative impact on the team's performance, especially if it is an elite level competition such as the Champions League. This is the same as the injuries to Haaland and Kevin De Bruyne at City which will cause their performance to decline drastically. Inter have to face Atletico which is of course a difficult match. It will be interesting to see how Inzaghi will strategize to deal with this problem.
Playing a key player like Lautaro Martinez, and not replacing him until extra time in the Coppa Italia against Bologna was clearly a mistake. Inzaghi should have been more concerned about his fitness or substituting him to prevent injury and even worse, Inter still Lost in that match. At the moment, it's still uncertain how long Lautaro Martinez will have to recover and yes, it's definitely not a good situation for Inter.
But yes, it is hoped that Lautaro Martinez can recover faster because after all, the reality is that Inter also has several players who are also injured. Therefore, if Lautaro Martinez does not recover quickly then yes, at least it will be difficult for Inter to get maximum results in the next matches when playing against other top teams later, especially in this Champions League.
