Impact Martinez didn't forgive the opposing goalkeeper's blunder and opened the scoring in the 30th minute, before increasing his tally with a close-range attempt in the 65th of the win. The star striker is in great form after recording 11 shots (five on target) and three goals over three appearances (two starts) since returning from a minor back injury. He'll aim to carry that momentum to the next league game against a recently successful Cremonese defense.

Scores early in win Martinez scored one goal to go with five shots (two on goal), one cross (zero accurate) and three chances created in Saturday's 2-0 victory versus Cagliari.

Impact The striker got things going within 10 minutes, giving Inter a nice early lead. He's got an interesting matchup Tuesday in UCL play against Slavia Prague, a side which hasn't played top competition and has only allowed seven goals in 10 domestic matches.

Unused versus Ajax Martinez (back) didn't play in Wednesday's 2-0 win over Ajax.

Impact Martinez was available but wasn't needed as his side won easily, and the coach didn't take risks, considering the result and the fact that Marcus Thuram and Francesco Pio Esposito fared well. He'll be back in the XI if he improves physically in the next couple of days.

Returns to bench Martinez (back) is on the bench for Wednesday's trip to Ajax.

Impact Martinez missed training earlier in the week due to soreness in his back, and is only fit enough for the bench for the Champions League opener. That means Francesco Pio Esposito comes into the starting XI in Amsterdam. Martinez's next chance to start will be a Sunday clash with Sassuolo.

Not fully fit Martinez didn't train with the rest of the team Tuesday due to back pain, La Gazzetta dello Sport informed.

Impact Martinez will be part of the squad list for Wednesday's clash with Amsterdam but will go through a fitness test to determine whether he'll be available and how many minutes he can handle. Ange-Yoan Bonny and Francesco Pio Esposito are the next men up in the Inter attack.

Silent in Juventus fixture Martinez drew two fouls, created two scoring chances and had two clearances in Saturday's 4-3 defeat versus Juventus.

Impact Martinez had a pair of key passes but was mostly invisible throughout the game, failing to take a shot for the first time in the young season. He hasn't been great after scoring and assisting in the opener. He has notched five shots (one on target), three chances created and three tackles so far.

Quiet performance in loss Martinez had one off-target shot, made three tackles (one won) and was shown a yellow card during Sunday's 2-1 loss against Udinese.

Impact Martinez couldn't replicate his numbers from the season opener as he was completely dominated by opposing defenders during the entire game. Anyway, this games should be seen as a fluke considering what the striker has done over the last few years, consolidating himself as one of the best in the world. On the other hand, he'll be needed in his best version after the international break as Inter will face a very tough stretch next.

Goal and assist in 5-0 rout Martinez scored one goal and assisted once from four shots and one chance created in Monday's 5-0 victory versus Torino.

Impact Martinez registered a tidy performance in Inter's dominant 5-0 season opener Monday. He slotted in Inter's third goal by capitalizing on a misplaced backpass, and created the assist for their fifth goal completed by Ange-Yoan Bonny. He was subbed after 79 minutes. Looking back at the 2024-25 Serie A season, he was a consistent attacking force: in 31 appearances, he delivered 12 goals and three assists. His knack for smart finishing, chance creation, and consistency makes him a valuable fantasy asset this season.
