Inter’s Calhanoglu set for medical examination on Thursday

Inter Milan midfielder Hakan Calhanoglu is scheduled to undergo medical tests on Thursday following an injury sustained while on international duty with Turkey. The Turkish playmaker returned to Milan on Wednesday after experiencing muscle discomfort during his national team’s match against Wales.

Calhanoglu was substituted at halftime in Turkey’s game against Wales due to an issue with the adductor muscle in his left thigh. This is the same area where he suffered an injury a month ago during a match against Roma. The player himself reported feeling a twinge in the affected area.

The Nerazzurri are understandably concerned about their key midfielder’s condition, especially given the recent nature of his previous injury. Despite the muscle problem, Calhanoglu remained with the Turkish national team to support his teammates in their subsequent match against Montenegro, which Turkey unfortunately lost.

Inter’s medical staff will conduct thorough examinations to determine the extent of Calhanoglu’s injury and assess his availability for upcoming fixtures. The club faces a crucial stretch of matches, including games against Verona, RB Leipzig in the Champions League, and Fiorentina.

Manager Simone Inzaghi and Inter fans are hoping for positive news from these tests, as losing Calhanoglu for a second time in such a short period would be a significant setback. The midfielder’s importance to the team’s tactical setup and his recent form make his fitness a priority for the club.
