Inter Milan are monitoring Lautaro Martinez and his recovery carefully after the Argentine captain picked up a calf injury, with the club hopeful he will be back to full fitness by the time Serie A resumes after the international break.
However, the timeline could shift depending on how quickly he heals, as per Tuttosport.
The calf is considered a particularly delicate area.
Therefore, Inter are not expected to rush their captain back unnecessarily.

The current target is the Serie A clash against Roma on April 4th, which would give Lautaro the full international break period to recover.
However, the Argentine has a competitive nature and desire to be involved.
Therefore, it is considered likely that he will push to return earlier.
Indeed, potentially for the trip to Fiorentina on March 22nd.
Or even for the Champions League second leg against Bodo/Glimt on March 17th or 18th.
His absence for the Milan derby on March 8th, however, is considered virtually certain.
Adding another layer of motivation for an early return is Argentina’s Finalissima against Spain at the end of March, a fixture Lautaro will be desperate to feature in.
