Despite facing a muscular issue, Lautaro Martinez is set to remain with the Argentina national team. The Inter Milan forward is expected to miss the upcoming match against Uruguay but hopes to recover in time for the crucial fixture against Brazil.

Martinez has been unable to participate fully in training sessions with Argentina as they prepare for important 2026 World Cup qualifying matches. The striker had been dealing with muscle problems during his time at Inter, which were exacerbated by the journey to South America.

Martinez’s Injury Status

Reports suggest that Martinez will not be available for Argentina’s game against Uruguay on Friday. However, the 27-year-old plans to stay with the squad and aims to be fit for the highly anticipated clash with Brazil next Wednesday.

This season, Martinez has been in impressive form for Inter Milan, scoring 18 goals and providing 6 assists in 39 competitive matches.

Inter Milan has already seen other players affected by international duty injuries. Marcus Thuram returned to the club after an ankle injury ruled him out of France’s matches, while Federico Dimarco was not included in the Italy squad due to muscular issues.
