The Argentine striker has been with Inter for 9 years, scoring 175 goals in 376 games and becoming the third top scorer in the club's history. After a brief break, Martínez returned to training on Sunday, but he didn't join his teammates immediately. Instead, he had a customized session that included a bike ride, gym work, and his first training session on the field.
According to the club, Martínez will work with his teammates again on Wednesday, after two days of rest. This will be his first full training session with the team since his return from the World Cup. Martínez coincided briefly with Inter's director of football, Cristian Chivu, in Miami during the World Cup, but they have maintained communication.
The Inter vs. Monza match will be the start of the Serie A season on Saturday, August 22. While the club has a friendly match planned before the official start of the season, it's unclear whether Martínez will feature in this match or be preserved for the Monza game. Inter's coach, Cristian Chivu, will evaluate Martínez's fitness and decide whether to include him in the squad for the upcoming match.
