Inter Milan captain Lautaro Martinez has yet to join the Argentina national team for November’s 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers.
According to AFA via FCInterNews, the 27-year-old striker will jet off to South America in the coming hours.
Lionel Scaloni has already welcomed 15 La Albiceleste stars to the camp at the beginning of November’s international break.
However, he’s still missing several crucial first-team components.
In addition to Lautaro Martinez, more elite European stars will arrive by tomorrow.
Alejandro Garnacho, Nicolas Tagliafico, Nehuen Perez, and Valentin Castellanos are among the incoming contingent.
Legendary Argentina captain Lionel Messi has received a call-up after his Inter Miami side bowed out of the MLS playoffs.
Indeed, Messi remains vital to La Albiceleste’s set-up despite his club’s domestic fiasco.
The same goes for Martinez, whose club form has been well off his high standard this season.
Martinez blanked again as Inter and Napoli shared the spoils in Sunday’s 1-1 draw at Giuseppe Meazza.
It was his seventh scoreless Serie A appearance in 11 this season, highlighting his frustrating dip in form.
Therefore, the upcoming international break could be a welcome distraction for El Toro.
However, it’s worth noting he has endured a rough start to the ongoing qualifying campaign.
After winning the 2024 Copa America Golden Boot, Martinez has only scored once in World Cup qualifiers.
As his quest to return to his usual best continues, Scaloni’s men head to Asuncion to take on Paraguay on Thursday night.
They are considerable favorites on paper.
However, Paraguay’s four-game unbeaten run means Argentina cannot afford to underestimate their hosts.
La Albiceleste will encounter out-of-sorts Peru a few days later.
It will be a presentable opportunity for Martinez to return to the scoresheet and regain confidence amid his club struggles.
