Jakarta - Lautaro Martinez confirmed that he will be absent from defending Inter Milan in the Della Madonnnina derby against AC Milan in the Coppa Italia semifinals at the San Siro, Thursday (3/4) at 02.00 WIB.
Lautaro insists he "gave everything to be there" for Inter against Milan, but there is not enough time to recover from his injury.
He suffered an injury during the international break in March, which forced him to withdraw from Argentina's training camp for the 2026 World Cup qualifiers against Uruguay and Brazil.
"I gave everything to be there tomorrow night, but unfortunately there wasn't enough time," Lautaro wrote on his Instagram account, quoted Wednesday.
"The season is still long and we have many targets. We will meet on the pitch soon," added the player who has so far scored 18 goals and six assists in all competitions.
