Hakan Calhanoglu misses two and crosses fingers
Hakan Calhanoglu’s condition
Update on Hakan Calhanoglu's condition reported today by Gazzetta dello Sport. During Saturday's finishing session, the Turkish midfielder experienced adductor discomfort. Simone Inzaghi and the medical staff decided to include him in the squad list for the match against Lecce anyway, hoping for an improvement in his condition.
That improvement did not è occur and Calhanoglu è remained on the bench during the challenge at the Via del Mare. È is likely not to take the field in the upcoming matches against Atalanta and Genoa either, pending the outcome of the tests needed to understand the severity of his injury.
The not even too hidden goal è to have him available for the return match of the Champions League round of 16 at home of Atletico Madrid. The 1-0 win in the first leg at the San Siro, with Arnautovic’s goal, cannot leave him completely calm in terms of qualification, and the absence of one of the Nerazzurri’s star players would be a problem.
