Lautaro Martinez suffered another injury, keeping Argentina concerned ahead of the 2026 FIFA World Cup. With a little over two months to go before the start of the 2026 FIFA World Cup, Argentina are paying close attention to one of their stars, Lautaro Martinez, who suffered a new injury this week that will prevent him from returning to action in the short term. “Lautaro Martinez aggravated his soleus muscle injury,” journalist Gaston Edul reported Friday via his official X account. The update, however, includes a positive detail compared to his previous muscle issue: “Not as serious.” The striker has played just one official match in the last two months. In mid-February, he was sidelined by a muscle injury that forced him to miss Inter Milan’s UEFA Champions League playoff clash against Bodo/Glimt, as well as five Serie A matches and one Coppa Italia fixture. After recovering from that setback last week, Martinez started in Inter Milan’s 5–2 win over AS Roma in Serie A on Sunday, where he scored twice. However, he has now suffered another setback that will force him to rest again. “He will be out for a few more days,” Edul added on X. Lionel Scaloni, Head Coach of Argentina. Argentina closely monitoring Lautaro Martinez’s situation Although the 2026 FIFA World Cup is still over two months away, Argentina are closely monitoring Lautaro Martinez’s situation. The striker has been a key piece of Lionel Scaloni’s squad throughout his tenure as head coach and is expected to have a place in the 26-man roster heading to North America this summer. However, the fact that Martinez is dealing with recurring physical issues so close to the tournament is a growing concern. In fact, he was left out of Scaloni’s latest squad during the March international break, when Argentina defeated Mauritania and Zambia in Buenos Aires. Lautaro Martinez still has unfinished business at the World Cup Despite playing a decisive role for Argentina in recent years—such as scoring the winning goal in the 2024 Copa America final against Colombia—Lautaro Martinez did not have the same impact during Argentina’s 2022 World Cup title run in Qatar. He started as the team’s main striker in that tournament, but an ankle injury prevented him from being at full fitness. After just two matches, he lost his place in the starting lineup to Julian Alvarez. That led to a disappointing campaign, as he failed to score during the entire World Cup. For that reason, North America 2026 carries special importance for Martinez, who will be looking to settle that unfinished business and deliver for Argentina on soccer’s biggest stage.

Christian Pulisic watches closely at Milan as the club reflects on its management structure and quietly weighs the future of sporting director Igli Tare. Christian Pulisic watches closely at Milan as the club reflects on its management structure and quietly weighs the future of sporting director Igli Tare. The Rossoneri have spent the season balancing strong performances on the pitch with delicate power dynamics behind the scenes. What initially looked like a stable setup now presents new tensions at a decisive moment. Last year, Milan spent months searching for a sporting director, extending the deadline several times before settling on Tare. Eventually, his appointment arrived in May 2025 after weeks of growing uncertainty. That lengthy process now raises questions, especially since his concrete influence since joining remains unclear. Since the summer, observers have struggled to understand which signings came from which voice. The source of some transfers has been disputed internally, creating an environment where responsibility appears blurred. The lack of clarity has only deepened the debate over whether the current structure supports the Rossoneri’s long-term vision. Unsettled waters behind the scenes Reports from Relevo’s Matteo Moretto suggested that owner Gerry Cardinale might reassess the management setup, reopening discussions about leadership stability. According to Marco Varini, the relationship between Tare and the club never fully settled. Igli Tare of AC Milan “Most likely, by the end of the season, Igli Tare will leave. The relationship with AC Milan never took off, from certain market choices, to certain statements, starting from the summer and the famous Gimenez chaos. Hard to see it continuing”, he wrote on X (formerly Twitter). This comment echoed months of whispers surrounding Milan’s sporting direction. Conflicting opinions, misaligned strategies, and unclear communication reportedly became recurring themes during the season. These concerns have placed Tare at the center of the internal review. Con ogni probabilità a fine stagione Igli #Tare lascerà. Rapporto mai decollato col #Milan, da alcune scelte di mercato, ad alcune dichiarazioni, a cominciare dall’estate e al famoso caos Gimenez. Difficile che si prosegua — Marco Varini (@mvcalcio) April 7, 2026 Why has Tare and Milan’s relationship never taken off? It is in this context that the mystery becomes clearer: Milan is now leaning toward parting ways with Tare at the end of the season, less than a year after his arrival. The decision stems from disagreements over transfer choices, several public statements, and the “Gimenez saga”, as described by Varini. Santiago Gimenez of AC Milan celebrates after scoring a goal. Santiago Gimenez was the subject of vast rumors during the last few days of the transfer window last summer, but the Mexican ultimately stayed at San Siro. Fans were undoubtedly taken aback by Igli Tare’s remarks just before the match against Lecce, where he essentially stated, “We’re trying to swap Gimenez for Dovbyk.”
