Calhanoglu a doubt for Coppa Italia Final as Inter confirm new injury
Hakan Calhanoglu has suffered a new muscle injury, and according to reports in Italy, the Inter star is in doubt for the Coppa Italia Final against Lazio on May 13.
Inter star Calhanoglu could miss the Coppa Italia Final against Lazio on May 13 due to a new muscle injury.
The Nerazzurri confirmed on Monday that the Turkish midfielder had sustained a new injury.
“Hakan Çalhanoğlu underwent medical examinations this morning at the Humanitas Clinical Institute in Rozzano,” Inter said in a statement.
“The tests revealed a muscular strain in the soleus of his left leg. His condition will be assessed in the coming days.”
Italian sources, including Sky Sport Italia and Gazzetta, report that Calhanoglu’s new injury might rule him out of the upcoming Coppa Italia Final in about two weeks.
Calhanoglu has been on and off the field due to injuries, especially in the second part of the campaign, but has still managed 12 goals and seven assists in 30 games across all competitions this term.
The 32-year-old has missed 13 matches due to injuries this term.
On Sunday, he was an unused substitute in Inter’s 2-2 draw against Torino.
Inter coach Cristian Chivu said Calhanoglu was not fully fit, but the latest Inter tests have revealed a more concerning situation.
