Lautaro gives up rest days to return early for Inter

Lautaro Martinez has decided to shorten the rest period available to him during the international break. The Inter captain wants to return to work ahead of schedule and immediately focus on the league restart, with the aim of being ready for the Nerazzurri’s next official fixture.

The decision is a clear sign of the Argentine’s commitment. After recent physical issues had affected his availability, Lautaro does not want to waste time and intends to use every useful training session to regain rhythm and fitness. His choice comes as Cristian Chivu organizes work at Appiano Gentile for the players who have remained with the team during the international pause.

Inter will return to action on Sunday, November 22, 2026, at 20:45, away to Atalanta in Serie A. The Nerazzurri head into the match after a 3-1 defeat to Milan, a 3-0 European win over Feyenoord and a 2-0 victory against Como. Lautaro’s early return gives Chivu an important attacking option ahead of the trip to Bergamo and the demanding schedule that follows.
