Inter: after Calhanoglu, exams also stop Acerbi

After Calhanoglu, forced stop also for 36-year-old defender

Delicate moment in the Nerazzurri household: two starters in the pits. After Calhanoglu, Acerbi also raised the white flag. Both will miss at least two games (including the big match with Juventus), maybe three. Clearly, a problem for Inzaghi, although the Nerazzurri squad è definitely deep and qualitative.

Acerbi è underwent an MRI that showed a problem in his left thigh. "Francesco Acerbi è underwent magnetic resonance imaging this morning at the Humanitas Clinical Institute in Rozzano. The examinations showed an elongation in the hamstring of the left thigh. His situation will beà evaluated day by day", the official press release from Inter.

The defender will missà the Champions League match with Young Boys and the league match with Juventus. It remains to be seen if he will be recoverable for the Oct. 30 challenge with Empoli. If not, he will be back available for the Serie A match with Venezia (a match in which Calhanoglu could also return).

In short, Inzaghi loses two starters and will therefore have to find alternative solutions, already starting on Wednesday against Young Boys. With Calhanoglu and Asllani stopped in the box, it is very likely that Barella will play again in front of the defense, as happened at the Olimpico against Roma. In defense, moreù solutions to replace Acerbi.
