Inter anxious for Lautaro: flexor elongation, in doubt for Barcelona

Not good news for Inter is coming from the infirmary. After the injury suffered in the first half of the Champions League semi-final first leg against Barcelona, Lautaro Martínez underwent instrumental examinations this morning at the Humanitas Institute in Rozzano. The outcome confirmed a left thigh flexor elongation, an injury that, although not serious, forces him to a stop with recovery time still undetermined. Surely the Nerazzurri captain will miss the league match against Verona scheduled for Saturday, May 3, at the San Siro.

The Nerazzurri captain had stopped in the 43rd minute of the Montjuïc challenge after feeling a twinge during a restart sprint. The Inter medical staff, with great care, avoided risks by asking Lautaro to wait until halftime to change so as not to burn a slot. Returning to Milan as early as the next day, the Argentine striker immediately made himself available to the medical staff to assess his condition.

The club’s official statement speaks of a muscle injury unaccompanied by injury, but does not give an opinion on the date of his return:conditions will be evaluated day by day,” reads the note published on the club’s channels. The goal remains to try a speedy recovery to be available next Tuesday at the San Siro for the return leg of the Champions League semifinal against Barcelona. However, at the moment, his presence remains in strong doubt.

For Simone Inzaghi this is a heavy loss, both for the technical value of the Nerazzurri’s top scorer and for his charisma and leadership. While waiting for further updates, Inter is preparing to face one of the most important matches of the season, hoping for the miracle recovery of its “Toro.”

Inter, Marcus Thuram’s recipe for a comeback with Barcelona

Inter between satisfaction and regret for the 3-3 away win at the Barcelona ground, with the Champions League final within the reach of the Nerazzurri who, however, saw themselves come back from 2-0 down and then 3-2 down by the Blaugrana. This is why Marcus Thuram doesn’t trust the Nerazzurri’s result ahead of the return match at San Siro.

“After the draw away from home, the challenge against Barcelona remains 50-50 – Thuram said in an ’interview with ‘CBS Sports’ -. I think they will have a lot of ball possession in Milan as well, but Inter play at home so we should improve in that aspect as well. But the match will probably be similar in performance to what we saw in the’first leg”.

Thuram then anticipated a possible tactical key that could help his Inter team in the return semifinal: “Barcelona always plays high. But when you have 11 players who press you constantly, and they often do it inside your own half of the field, you have to find a solution to contain them. To defend you have to stay low, and that isn&#8217t easy, but then you can break away on the counterattack and become you dangerous”.

“The field is very big, but Barcelona is able to cover it all with their pressing. Playing against champions of this level is a nightmare, but we can also go against their goalkeeper when he controls the ball. Their technical level is very high, and they know how to get between the lines. To succeed, Inter will have to do the same” Thuram concluded.

Douglas Luiz to say goodbye: Premier League helps Juventus

Published

Juventus soccer market: among the outgoing players in the near future bianconero stands out Douglas Luiz. The change of technical guidance from Thiago Motta to Igor Tudor has not revived the quotations of the Brazilian, who has done little to hide his frustration. And this very aspect, combined with a performance that continues not to take off, seems to bring his farewell closer and closer.

Juventus, however, first wants to figure out how to earn as much as possible from the deal, given the fact that Douglas Luiz cost about 50 million euros and has inevitably depreciated in the meantime. The intent, therefore, is to get as close as possible to 40 million, while limiting the capital loss to a minimum. To do so, the most viable options lead to England.

Douglas Luiz has, after all, experienced the best seasons of his career precisely in the Premier League, and specifically in an Aston Villa shirt. Meanwhile, according to ‘SportMediaset’, the English top league could reopen its doors to him by offering him the possibility of a new adventure at Manchester City or Nottingham Forest, thus participating in the next Champions League, or Manchester United. Where the risk is not to participate in the cups, but wearing a jersey with the greatest blazon.

Juventus’ real priority, however, is to let go of a player who has never settled in bianconero, and who has also cost really dearly. The English market could represent a golden opportunity, giving Douglas Luiz a chance to relaunch himself and the Bianconeri a nest egg not too far from the investment of a summer ago.
