Inter Milan midfielder Hakan Calhanoglu is hoping to recover for the heavily anticipated Coppa Italia final against Lazio.
According to Corriere dello Sport via FCInterNews, the 32-year-old will start his recovery program immediately.
Hakan Calhanoglu suffered a muscle injury ahead of Inter’s trip to Turin last weekend.
Therefore, Cristian Chivu had to put Piotr Zielinski in his place, with Petar Sucic starting on the left side of Inter’s midfield.
Meanwhile, the Turkish star is facing a race against time to regain full fitness for Inter’s first appearance in the Coppa Italia final since 2023.
Furthermore, Calhanoglu’s heroics in the semi-finals against Como are the main reason the Nerazzurri are in the final.
Inter Milan Playmaker Hakan Calhanoglu Keen to Recover for Coppa Italia Final
In addition to missing Inter’s 2-2 draw at Torino, the former AC Milan midfielder won’t be available for this weekend’s home clash against Parma.
Moreover, Chivu is unlikely to have his starting playmaker at his disposal for Inter’s next away match in Serie A.
Indeed, the Nerazzurri will take on Lazio at the Olimpico, just four days before their Coppa Italia showdown.
Therefore, the clock is ticking for Calhanoglu, who faces a tight race against time to be fit for the Coppa Italia final.
