Lautaro Martinez injury: Inter striker likely out for Champions League second leg, who can replace him?

Inter Milan forward Lautaro Martinez sustained a thigh injury during the opening match of their Champions League semi-final against Barcelona on April 30, 2025, in Barcelona.
Martinez sustained a muscle strain in the flexor region of his left thigh, raising doubts about his participation in the second leg scheduled for Tuesday in Milan.
Martinez was substituted at half-time for Mehdi Taremi, who joined Inter in summer 2024 and may start if Martinez cannot play, while manager Simone Inzaghi prefers to maintain his 3-5-2 system.
Martinez scored 21 goals in 47 matches this season and is a key player whose absence would significantly affect Inter's tactical plans against Barcelona.
Inter remains hopeful for Martinez's recovery but Simone Inzaghi described the next match as a 'final' and expressed skepticism about Martinez's chances of returning in time.
