Argentine Star Set To Start in Juventus vs Inter Milan; Conversation With Chivu

Despite having just one training session since returning from international duty, Inter Milan forward Lautaro Martinez has expressed his desire to start against Juventus.

In today’s edition of the Gazzetta dello Sport, via FcInterNews, it has been noted that the Argentine only returned to Milan on Wednesday evening.

On Thursday, he had one recovery training session.

However, long travel can easily cause fatigue in players who fly across continents.

After working hard in training on Friday, Lautaro met with head coach Cristian Chivu.

During the conversation, both sides agreed that the Argentine will start against the Bianconeri in Saturday evening’s Derby d’Italia.

Gazzetta claim that Martinez would never turn down such an important match.

Especially given Marcus Thuram’s return to the form and the potential for the duo to do real damage against Juventus.
