Inter Confirm Soleus Strain for Hakan Çalhanoğlu With Final in Doubt

The club will reassess him in the coming days to set a clear return plan.

Overview

Inter said tests revealed a strain in the soleus muscle of Çalhanoğlu’s left calf and that his condition will be evaluated over the next few days.
He was listed but did not play in the 2-2 draw at Torino and is reported to be unavailable for the home match against Parma.
Italian outlets report he is in doubt for the Coppa Italia final against Lazio on May 13, with the league trip to Rome four days prior also likely to come too soon.
Piotr Zielinski is expected to fill the playmaker role while Çalhanoğlu follows a recovery program set by Inter’s staff.
Some reports suggest the setback could end his season, though the club has not confirmed that level of severity.
