Capello warns Martinez against becoming Barca substitute

Fabio Capello praised Inter star Lautaro Martinez, but warned the forward it was better to be starting at the Serie A club than being on the bench at Barcelona.

Martinez has been linked with a move to the La Liga giants, having scored 16 goals in 31 games for Inter this season.
