Lautaro Martinez targets Coppa Italia final return

Inter Milan captain back in training but Torino clash out of reach

Lautaro Martínez is already back on the training pitch, working to put his second soleus injury behind him. 

The Inter Milan captain has begun field sessions in recent days, showing clear determination to return stronger as the season heads toward its most decisive moments.

According to Corriere dello Sport via Fcinter1908, however, his comeback is not immediate. He will miss the upcoming Serie A clash against Torino FC, as the club prefers a cautious approach. The real target is crystal clear: being at peak condition for the Coppa Italia final on May 13.

Winning the Scudetto, now within reach, is not enough to satisfy him. Lautaro is already envisioning lifting two trophies, perhaps celebrating them in front of fans during Inter Milan’s following home fixture. 

That ambition fuels his recovery, but this time without taking unnecessary risks, unlike his earlier return during the Easter round.

The roadmap includes a possible call-up for the league match against Parma Calcio 1913, where he might get limited minutes. 

The clash against SS Lazio is expected to serve as a full dress rehearsal ahead of the Coppa Italia final, where his presence is all but guaranteed.

Memories of past finals still echo. Against ACF Fiorentina, Lautaro’s brace turned the game around and secured the trophy for Inter Milan. 

Those were the days leading up to the UEFA Champions League Final 2023, later lost to Manchester City.

This time, the final at Rome’s Olympic Stadium could symbolically represent the final act of the season. 

Inter Milan are likely to arrive having already secured the league title, but eager to add one more jewel to their crown.

And at the center of it all, Lautaro is preparing for his cue, ready to step back onto the stage and take charge when it matters most.
