Inter Milan striker Lautaro Martinez said that he had a serious injury at the 2022 World Cup.
— I came to the World Cup in pretty bad shape, I couldn't even hit the ball properly because the pain was unbearable. I really liked the extraordinary performances of Julián Alvarez, who gave the team what I needed to do.
Once Messi came to me and said that I must recover to help the team in the last minutes. I felt pain when I was playing for Inter, but the pain was tolerable. But after the match against Atalanta, I felt broken. I told Scaloni about it, asked to be given a break. "I played against Saudi Arabia but I couldn't train regularly," said Lautaro Martinez.
