The Argentine star Lautaro Martinez is nearing a return to the field after recovering from a muscle injury he sustained in the calf muscle (soleus) a few weeks ago.

Coach Cristian Chivu confirmed in a press conference before the match against Torino that the player is clearly improving, indicating that his expected return will be during the next week.

According to the coach's statements, the likely date for the Argentine striker's return is May 3, when Inter Milan hosts Parma. This match could be decisive, as it might witness Inter's early league title win if they defeat Torino this week, where a draw in Lautaro's return match would be enough to secure the title.

Lautaro's return at this time might give him a perfect opportunity to celebrate his eighth title with the team, in an ideal scenario for the Argentine star. Despite suffering three injuries this season, he continues to shine offensively, leading the Italian league's top scorer list with 16 goals.

Lautaro also recorded impressive numbers this season, with a total of 20 goals and 4 assists in 36 matches across all competitions, underscoring his significant importance in Inter's lineup and his crucial role in the team's journey towards the title.
