Calhanoglu alarm: “I felt pinching and asked for a change. Tomorrow I’ll have an MRI”

News that is anything but encouraging for Inter comes directly from Türkiye. Midfielder Hakan Calhanoglu was forced off at the end of the first half of the match against Wales which ended 0-0 due to a physical problem: “Two weeks have passed since my injury, but the same area hurt again, I felt it pinching. I went out because I didn’t want to take any risks, tomorrow I’ll have an MRI scan”, declared Calhanoglu post-match who in the month of October he missed the matches against Young Boys, Juventus and Empoli due to a strain on the adductors of his left thigh suffered during the match against Roma.

During the post-match interview, Calhanoglu also encouraged Kerem Akturkogluhis national teammate who in the final minutes of tonight’s match missed the penalty that could have given Turkey the three points: “I understand it very well, it can happen that you miss a penalty. We tried to cheer him up, he has a family behind him backs and we support him as a team. These are things that happen in football: the chance of scoring a penalty is 50%. There is no problem.”

Upon returning from the break, Simone Inzaghi’s Inter will take the field at the Bentegodi in Verona against Hellas: the match valid for the 13th matchday of Serie A is set for Saturday 23 November at 3.00 pm
