Inter, tegola for Calhanoglu: Coppa Italia final at risk

Hakan Calhanoglu, the protagonist of Inter’s comeback against Como in the semi-final second leg with a brace and an assist for Sucic’s decisive goal, is now in high doubt for the Coppa Italia final against Lazio, scheduled for May 13 at 9 p.m. at the Stadio Olimpico in Rome.

The Turkish midfielder is again struggling with a muscle problem. The Nerazzurri club reported that Calhanoglu underwent instrumental examinations at the Istituto Clinico Humanitas in Rozzano in the morning, which revealed a muscle soreness in the soleus of his left leg. His condition will be reevaluated in the coming days.

Coach Cristian Chivu had also confirmed after the draw in Turin against Torino that the player was not in good condition, explaining the decision to leave him on the bench for the entire match despite the fact that on the eve of the match he was considered a starter in the starting lineup.

The injury appears more serious than expected and risks compromising not only his presence in the Coppa Italia final, but also the entire season finale.
