Hakan Calhanoglu is still training separately from his Inter teammates and is unlikely to be fit for the Coppa Italia Final against Lazio on May 13.

The Nerazzurri are still celebrating their Scudetto, which was secured with three rounds still left to play, but are back in action on Saturday in Serie A against Lazio.
Curiously, these two teams will meet again on Wednesday in the Stadio Olimpico, but that will be for the Coppa Italia Final, the opportunity for Inter to do the Double.
Inter waiting for Calhanoglu recovery
Calhanoglu is certainly out of this weekend’s match and Sky Sport Italia report the odds of seeing him participate in the Final are also very slim.
He suffered a series of injuries this season, the latest a left thigh issue, and with the World Cup on the horizon for Turkiye he is in no mood to run big risks.
Another player who could miss out is Francesco Pio Esposito, who went off at half-time in the victory over Parma with a back problem and is still not fully healed.
As Lautaro Martinez is not being rushed back either, that means Ange-Yoan Bonny should partner Marcus Thuram upfront.
Luis Henrique is back in training after a right thigh twinge and should be in the squad for this weekend.
