Inter midfielder Hakan Calhanoglu has returned to training with the team and will be available for Simone Inzaghi for Saturday’s crucial away game against Bologna. This match serves as a precursor to the return leg of the Champions League round of 16, where the Nerazzurri will face a challenge at the Wanda Metropolitano in Madrid. At this juncture, the responsibility lies with Simone and his staff, who have been working diligently for days with the aim of getting the Turkish midfielder in peak condition for the international fixture.
The focus will now shift to determining Calhanoglu’s involvement in the Bologna game, whether it’s best to start him in the starting eleven or bring him on for the final thirty minutes of play.
Calciomercato report that A similar decision-making process will be applied to Francesco Acerbi and MArcus Thuram, both of whom are recovering from their respective injuries. Both players made appearances in the last home game against Genoa, with Thuram notably demonstrating excellent form, ahead of most of his teammates. Expected to be among the starters is Davide Frattesi, the midfielder who caused a brief concern when he requested to return to the bench during warm-ups, expressing doubts about his fitness.
However, a medical consultation confirmed that the former Sassuolo player is in excellent condition and ready to take the field. With the exceptions of Cuadrado and Sensi, Inter and Inzaghi will have a full squad at their disposal for the match against Bologna.
