Mauro Icardi could be handed a shock start against Lazio on Sunday as Inter teammate Lautaro Martinez is suffering from fatigue.

Martinez lasted just under an hour of Argentina’s 1-0 win against Morocco on Tuesday, and Gazzetta dello Sport reports he will undergo tests on Thursday.

The 21-year-old started both of his country’s games during the international break, despite being a recent shoe-in for Inter as he covered for Icardi.

Lautaro’s chances of facing Lazio are considered very low, even if tests show he has only muscle fatigue.

That could open the door for his fellow Argentine to make his comeback, now he has resumed training with the first team.

La Gazzetta adds the 26-year-old – who was stripped of the Nerazzurri’s captaincy last month – will talk to his teammates on Thursday to definitively clear the air with them.
