What happened. Inter beat Udinese 5-3 in Serie A on Monday, but goalkeeper Josep Martinez made another error after a costly mistake in the 2-1 Champions League loss at Real Madrid. The back-to-back errors have raised concerns over Martinez, who is in his first season as Inter's outright No.1.

• Martinez was caught in possession by Federico Valverde for Real Madrid's second goal last week.
• Against Udinese, he was beaten by a deft Jurgen Ekkelenkamp touch after a low cross.
• Ivan Provedel, signed as cover, is now eyeing a chance in the starting XI.

Inter must decide whether to stick with Martinez or turn to Provedel after his shaky start as No.1.
