Inter Milan midfielder Hakan Calhanoglu is currently focused on his recovery after sustaining an injury while playing for the Turkish national team. Following a match against Wales, where he was substituted at halftime due to discomfort, Calhanoglu expressed concerns about his condition. “I felt a pinch in the same spot where I had experienced discomfort before, and I preferred not to take any risks. I will undergo an MRI on Sunday,” he stated.
Initial examinations have indicated that Calhanoglu’s muscle issue may not be severe, providing some relief for both Inter and the Turkish national team. The club and national team officials are in communication to coordinate his return and establish a recovery plan that avoids exacerbating the injury. As part of his treatment, Calhanoglu has remained with the Turkish squad and has already begun rehabilitation for his groin injury.
Turkish national team coach Vincenzo Montella commented on the situation, saying, “It’s never easy to lose a player like him, who can change the dynamics of a game. I took him off because he wasn’t feeling well, but I hope to have him back for the next match.” That next match is scheduled against Montenegro, which is crucial for Turkey’s campaign.
Inter Milan’s head coach Simone Inzaghi shares Montella’s hope for Calhanoglu’s swift recovery as they prepare for their upcoming Serie A match against Hellas Verona. This match marks the return of league action after the international break, and having Calhanoglu fit would be a significant boost for the team.
