AMSTERDAM :Inter Milan will give captain Lautaro Martinez a late fitness test before deciding whether he can play in their Champions League group game at Ajax Amsterdam, coach Christian Chivu said on Tuesday.

The Inter striker has a back issue and was taken off during their 4-3 Serie A loss to Juventus ahead of the Ajax game on Wednesday.

"We'll evaluate Lautaro tomorrow and see if we have him available," said Chivu, who also dismissed any suggestion of dropping Swiss goalkeeper Yann Sommer after the team conceded six goals in their last two matches.

"I’ve not thought about changing the goalkeeper. It's not right to put Sommer out there and throw stones at him. I don't think it's good from a human perspective," Chivu said.
