When frozen Inter Milan players ran out at Aspmyra on Wednesday, there was clearly discomfort. It was cold, on the “lawn” the ball bounced like the multi-millionaires from Milan had never experienced before. Before the match, Inter had posted a creative advertisement for this match, where the giant Inter Milan snake coiled around and into the Viking camp at Aspmyra. It was the snake that had to sit hungry on the plane back to Milan, Bodø/Glimt with a 3-1 victory ensured an excellent starting point before the return match at the San Siro. Not only did the coach of Italy’s best team go home with a loss, now it is reported that the biggest star will have to sit out in the second playoff match.

Inter Milan reports on the club’s website that captain Lautaro Martinez is injured. The Argentine, with his 18 goals in 35 games this season, had to come off Apsmyra 62 minutes into the game.

– Lautaro Martínez underwent clinical and instrumental tests this morning at the Istituto Clinico Humanitas in Rozzano. The examinations revealed a tensile injury in the soleus muscle in the left calf. The condition of the Argentine striker will be reassessed next week, reports Inter.

According to Italian Sky Sports , the captain is expected to miss games in the next month. This means that Inter Milan will host Bodø/Glimt without their captain and top scorer.
