Inter Milan is facing more injury concerns as they prepare for their upcoming pre-season friendly against Chelsea. Hakan Calhanoglu is the latest player to be struggling with a muscular issue, adding to the list of players already sidelined.
The team has been dealing with various injuries throughout the summer, with players like Mehdi Taremi, Mark Arnautovic, Piotr Zielinski, and Stefan de Vrij already out of action. Calhanoglu is now undergoing separate personalized training sessions away from the rest of the squad, raising doubts about his availability for the match against Chelsea.
While it is hoped that Calhanoglu’s injury is just a precautionary measure, there is a possibility that he may not travel with the team to London for the friendly. Coach Simone Inzaghi will ultimately make the decision based on the player’s fitness levels and recovery progress.
Calhanoglu’s late return to training, following his participation in EURO 2024 with Turkey, has also contributed to the uncertainty surrounding his availability. Despite the setbacks, Inter Milan is gearing up for their competitive season opener against Genoa on Saturday, August 17.
Injuries are always a concern for any team, especially during pre-season preparations. It is essential for players to prioritize their fitness and recovery to avoid long-term setbacks. The coaching staff will be closely monitoring Calhanoglu’s progress to determine the best course of action for his rehabilitation.
As the reigning Champions of Italy, Inter Milan will be looking to start their season on a strong note. The team’s depth and resilience will be tested as they navigate through the challenges posed by injuries and fixture congestion. Fans will be eagerly awaiting updates on Calhanoglu’s condition and hoping for a speedy recovery for the talented midfielder.
