Lautaro Martinez Injury Dampens Inter's Cup Victory
Inter's 2-0 Coppa Italia win over Udinese was overshadowed by Lautaro Martinez's late knee injury, causing concerns for coach Simone Inzaghi.
Lautaro Martinez, the star forward of Inter Milan, suffered a knee injury at the end of their 2-0 victory over Udinese in the Coppa Italia. Despite the win, the post-match incident has cast a shadow over the team's celebrations.
Inter's goals came from Marko Arnautovic and Kristjan Asllani, securing their place in the next round. With both Lautaro Martinez and Marcus Thuram starting on the bench, Inter relied on Mehdi Taremi and Arnautovic to lead the attack.
Martinez entered the game in the 63rd minute, replacing Arnautovic. He partnered with Taremi to try and extend Inter's lead. However, shortly after the final whistle, Martinez was seen collapsing to the ground, clutching his right knee in visible discomfort.
Medical staff immediately attended to Martinez, assessing the injury on the pitch. The severity of the damage remains unclear, and updates from coach Simone Inzaghi and the club are eagerly awaited. Inter fans now anxiously await news about their key player's fitness, as the team prepares for critical matches ahead.
