In a statement, Inter said Martínez underwent tests at the Humanitas Institute in Rozzano, near Milan. The examinations revealed a strain in the flexor muscles of his left thigh. The club has not disclosed the severity of the injury or indicated how long the forward is expected to remain out of action.
The development is a concern for Inter, given Martínez’s importance to their attacking play. The Argentine is a central figure in the team’s forward line, contributing not only through goals but also through his movement, link-up play and ability to create opportunities for his team-mates. Any absence could therefore affect the side’s attacking options and tactical approach.
Inter will assess his recovery before deciding when he can resume training and competitive football. The length of his lay-off will depend on the extent of the muscle strain and how well he responds to treatment and rehabilitation. Until further medical assessments provide a clearer picture, it remains uncertain whether he will be available for the club’s forthcoming fixtures.
Thigh muscle injuries can be particularly challenging for forwards, whose roles often require sudden acceleration, changes of direction and repeated high-intensity runs. Returning before a muscle has recovered sufficiently can increase the risk of aggravating the injury. For that reason, the medical team will need to balance the urgency of Martínez’s return against the importance of ensuring he is fit enough to compete safely.
His potential absence could also require Inter’s coaching staff to reconsider their attacking arrangements. Depending on his availability, the team may need to rely more heavily on other forwards or adjust its approach in the final third. However, the club has not announced any specific changes to its plans, and it would be premature to draw conclusions about the effect on individual matches before his recovery prospects become clearer.
Martínez’s fitness will be monitored closely in the coming days as Inter await further indications of his progress. The club has not confirmed a return date, leaving his availability for upcoming matches unresolved.
For now, the priority is to establish the extent of the injury and oversee his recovery. Until Inter provide an updated medical assessment, neither the duration of his absence nor the timing of his return to full training can be determined with confidence.
