The Inter Milan striker also forced Mostafa Shobeir into a save shortly after coming on and was the most dangerous individual player on the pitch in the closing stages that will give coach Lionel Scaloni a genuine selection decision heading into the quarterfinal against Switzerland.

Rough outing against Cape Verde Martinez recorded no stats in Friday's 3-2 win versus Cape Verde.

Impact Martinez would see little to no work Friday, as the forward did not record a single shot in his 63 minutes of play. He would record a chance created on 12 passes, although that is about all he did. This does leave some room for Julian Alvarez to enter the talks for starting at forward again, with Martinez now struggling in three of his four starts this tournament.

Zero shots Monday Martinez recorded zero shots in Monday's 2-0 win over Austria.

Impact Martinez had a rough 65 minutes of play Monday after receiving the start, with the forward going without a shot the whole match. He would end up seeing more work in the defense, notching two tackles and three clearances. That said, he only has one shot through two starts, possibly leaving space for Julian Alvarez to take his spot in the starting XI.

Limited impact in 55 minutes Martinez registered one shot (one on goal) and one cross (zero accurate) in Tuesday's 3-0 victory versus Algeria.

Impact Martinez came close to breaking the deadlock in the opening minutes with a header that went straight to Luca Zidane. However, he went mostly silent the rest of the way and didn't offer much of a threat. Argentina looked far more lively with Julian Alvarez playing upfront, so the Atletico Madrid star might move to the starting lineup for the next match against Austria on Monday, June 22.

Limited impact in draw Martinez recorded four shots (two on goal) and one cross (zero accurate) in Sunday's 1-1 draw versus Verona.

Impact Martinez's efforts in front of the opposition goal were not enough for him to make score sheet this time, ending a run of four league or cup appearances in which he produced at least one goal or assist. With only one game remaining in the 2025/26 campaign and the striker tallying 17 Serie A goals, this hardly threatens his place as the top scorer in the league. After the final week, he'll turn his attention to starring for Argentina at the World Cup.

Scores and assists Martinez scored one goal and assisted once from one shot and four chances created in Saturday's 3-0 victory versus Lazio.

Impact Martinez played a decisive role in Saturday's 3-0 win at Lazio, opening the scoring in the first half with a composed finish after collecting Petar Sucic's pass and slotting calmly past Edoardo Motta, before turning provider for Yann Bisseck's shot that contributed to the buildup ahead of the second goal, while adding four key passes. The Argentine captain was a constant threat in behind Lazio's high defensive line throughout his time on the pitch, adding his trademark forward runs and intelligent movement before being replaced in the second half as Cristian Chivu managed his squad with the title already secured. Martinez has scored 17 Serie A goals and contributed six assists across 28 appearances this season, with the title win capping a dominant campaign for both him and his side.

Assists in return Martinez assisted once to go with one shot (one on goal) and one chance created in Sunday's 2-0 victory against Parma.

Impact Martinez has been battling injuries in recent weeks, returning to the pitch only once across his last 13 games in all competitions prior to this outing, and made his return count with an assist in a 23 minute cameo. However, with the title already secured, the club could look to rest him again in the next league game in the hope of having him fit enough to start the Coppa Italia Final against Lazio.

Given bench role Martinez (calf) is on the bench for Sunday's match against Parma.

Impact Martinez is back in the mix after an injury left him out of the past few games. However, it appears they are taking his return cautiously, as the regular starter instead starts on the bench Sunday. With 16 goals in 26 appearances this season, he is by far their best attacking option, likely to slide back into a starting role after testing his legs.

Fully on track for Parma game Martinez (calf) returned to full training Wednesday, Sky Italy reported.

Impact Martinez will be available Sunday following a three-game absence, although he made two token bench appearances. He'll push Francesco Pio Esposito for a spot in the XI if he finishes the week well. He has logged at least one shot in his last five showings, totaling 14 attempts (six on target), scoring four goals and creating five chances over that span.

Close to returning Martinez (calf) "will resume being available versus Parma if all goes well," coach Christian Chivu stated.

Impact Martinez has yet to go into full training and isn't ready to play yet, but he has traveled with the team and could technically be on the bench versus Torino, as he's done a couple of times already despite being unavailable. Francesco Pio Esposito is again the favorite to replace him next to Marcus Thuram.
