Inter Milan have received disappointing news regarding midfielder Hakan Calhanoglu following his early substitution during the match against Roma. The Turkish international underwent medical examinations this morning, which confirmed the suspected adductor injury.
The club released an official statement on their website detailing Calhanoglu’s condition: “Hakan Calhanoglu underwent an MRI scan this morning at the Humanitas Clinical Institute in Rozzano following his substitution yesterday against Roma. The tests revealed an elongation of the adductors in his left thigh.”
Calhanoglu was forced to leave the field early in the game against Roma due to discomfort in his thigh area. The injury comes as a blow to Inter, as the midfielder has been a key player for the team this season.
The extent of the injury and the expected recovery time have not been specified in the club’s statement. However, muscle elongations typically require a period of rest and rehabilitation before a player can return to full training and match fitness.
Inter will now have to adjust their midfield plans in the coming matches as they await Calhanoglu’s return to action.
