Lautaro Martínez and Benjamin Pavard Return to Training Ahead of Inter vs. Barcelona Clash
Inter Milan has received a significant boost ahead of their highly anticipated clash against Barcelona, with both Lautaro Martínez and Benjamin Pavard returning to initial team training.
The duo had been sidelined due to injuries in recent weeks, raising concerns over their availability for the crucial matchup. However, Inter confirmed on Monday that both players have rejoined the squad for the first phase of training, indicating a positive step forward in their recovery process.
Martínez, Inter’s captain and leading goal-scorer this season, had been nursing a muscle strain that kept him out of action. His return will be closely monitored, but his presence in training is a strong sign he may be available for selection against the Spanish giants.
Meanwhile, Pavard, who suffered a knee injury in late 2023, has also resumed work with the group. The French defender’s composure and versatility across the backline could prove vital as Inter prepares to face a Barcelona side known for its attacking threats.
While it’s unclear whether either player will start the match, their return to team activities provides a morale boost for Simone Inzaghi’s squad. The final decision on their inclusion will depend on how they respond to increased training intensity in the coming days.
Inter face Barcelona in a match that could have significant implications for both clubs’ European campaigns, and the availability of Martínez and Pavard could tip the balance in favor of the Italian side.
