Inter Milan midfielder Hakan Calhanoglu is reportedly at risk of missing the upcoming Coppa Italia final against Lazio.
According to Gazzetta dello Sport via FCInterNews, the 32-year-old may have suffered a season-ending injury last week.
Hakan Calhanoglu emerged as the Nerazzurri hero in a stunning 3-2 comeback victory against Como in the Coppa Italia semi-finals.
Indeed, he netted a second-half brace to help Inter haul back a two-goal deficit before setting up Petar Sucic for a late winner.
However, the former AC Milan star came out of that clash bruised, forcing Cristian Chivu to leave him out of the squad last weekend.

It’s now a near certainty that Calhanoglu won’t be at Chivu’s disposal for the next two Serie A matches.
Therefore, Piotr Zielinski is likely to deputize for the Turkey captain against Parma and Lazio.
Meanwhile, Calhanoglu remains hopeful of regaining full fitness in time for the heavily anticipated Coppa Italia final.
However, with the 2026 FIFA World Cup on the horizon, the skilled midfielder could be reluctant to push himself over the limit.
Indeed, captaining his country on the grandest international stage remains the Turk’s top priority.
