Inter Milan can breathe a sigh of relief as Hakan Calhanoglu’s medical tests have come back negative, revealing no muscle injuries. The Turkish midfielder underwent examinations this morning at a clinic in Rozzano, putting to rest the concerns that had been lingering for the past couple of days.
This news comes as a welcome development for manager Simone Inzaghi, who had already been reassured by Calhanoglu himself following the discomfort experienced during his first match with the Turkish national team.
Moving forward, Calhanoglu will gradually resume training. The plan is for him to begin with a personalized session, with the possibility of rejoining the full squad as early as tomorrow. However, the club is approaching his recovery with caution, avoiding any unnecessary rush to have him back in action prematurely.
Inter’s upcoming schedule includes matches against Verona, followed by a double-header against RB Leipzig in the Champions League and Fiorentina in Serie A. If Calhanoglu manages to rejoin group training by tomorrow, Inzaghi might include him in the squad for the Verona match, though he would likely start on the bench, with Asllani taking his place in the starting lineup.
Should Calhanoglu require an additional day of individual training, he would then be in contention for the subsequent Champions League fixture. Regardless of the specifics, the most crucial news for Inter is the negative outcome of the medical tests, indicating no serious injury for their key midfielder.
