Inter Milan captain Lautaro Martínez will miss upcoming matches after suffering a left calf strain during the Champions League playoff against Bodo/Glimt. The Argentine forward, who has scored 18 goals this season, was forced off in the 61st minute of Wednesday's 3-1 defeat and underwent medical tests on Friday.

While Inter has not provided an exact recovery timeline, Italian reports suggest Martínez could be sidelined for up to a month. This would rule him out of the return leg against Bodo, a Serie A clash with Genoa, and the first leg of the Coppa Italia semifinal against Como. He is also a doubt for the crucial derby against AC Milan on March 8.

The injury compounds Inter's recent struggles, with the team's six-match winning streak ending in Norway. Head coach Christian Chivu acknowledged the team's need to regroup, stating they must address several issues carefully. Despite the setback, Inter maintains a seven-point lead over AC Milan in Serie A, though Martínez's absence could prove costly in their pursuit of the title.
