Martinez limped off in the final minutes of the first half at Barcelona's Lluís Companys stadium in midweek, with coach Simone Inzaghi forced to keep him on the pitch until half-time to prepare for a second-half substitution.
On May 2, Inter issued an official statement about Martinez's injury: "Martínez underwent extensive tests at the Humanitas Institute in Rozzano this morning. The Argentine striker has a strained flexor muscle in his left thigh. The striker's condition will be assessed on a daily basis."
Against Barcelona, Martinez did not score or provide any assists. He was overshadowed by teammates Marcus Thuram (1 goal) and Denzel Dumfries (2 goals).
With a hamstring injury, Martinez will definitely be absent from the match between Inter Milan and Verona in round 35 of Serie A on the morning of May 4.
Inter Milan are still hoping that the Argentine striker can recover in time to play in the rematch against Barcelona at home. His presence will significantly increase the team's attacking power alongside Marcus Thuram and bring confidence to his teammates.
This season, Martinez has scored 12 goals in Serie A and 8 goals in the Champions League. Although he has not maintained his explosive form as last season, Martinez still brings great value both professionally and spiritually to Inter Milan. His presence is very important in the club's ambition to conquer the Champions League title.
