Lautaro Martinez - Soccer News, Rumors, & Updates

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.

Impact Martinez has missed the last seven games because of a calf strain, but has been training regularly for multiple days and could start right away over either Francesco Pio Esposito or Marcus Thuram if he finishes the week well. He has notched at least one shot in his last four appearances, accumulating 11 attempts (three on target), scoring twice and logging five key passes and two crosses (zero accurate) during that stretch. He has hit the net 14 times and provided four assists in 25 Serie A tilts.
