Hakan Çalhanoğlu
INTWill miss season finale
Calhanoglu (calf) is already in Instabul to continue his rehab, as Turkey coach Vincenzo Montella told Sky: "We hope he can find the right condition over the next two weeks."
Analysis: Calhanoglu has been unfit to play for the past four matches, although he was on the bench a few times to cheer his teammates on and celebrate the title. The injury was initially believed to be minor, so he shouldn't have trouble recuperating ahead of the World Cup opener. He's been brilliant when healthy this year, tallying 10 goals, six assists, 58 shots, and 49 chances created, but a few muscular problems limited him to 28 appearances (25 starts).
Picks up new calf injury
Calhanoglu has been diagnosed with a soleus strain in his left calf, Inter announced.
Analysis: Calhanoglu was technically available but went unused versus Torino, as he was already hurting. He's set to miss at least the next two tilts versus Parma and Lazio, Sky Italy relayed. Petar Sucic and Henrikh Mkhitaryan will absorb his workload in the midfield.
