Inter Milan & Turkey Superstar Needs More Minutes To Regain Form Amid Rotten Patch | OneFootball

Inter Milan midfield star Hakan Calhanoglu hasn’t been the best version of himself this season, largely thanks to injuries.

According to Gazzetta dello Sport via FCInterNews, the only way for the Turk to regain his form is through regular first-team football.

Indeed, recurring fitness problems have plagued Hakan Calhanoglu this term.

Despite his undeniable skill and quality, the 31-year-old couldn’t replicate last season’s form.

Furthermore, 2025 has been particularly brutal to the former AC Milan playmaker.

Inter Milan Ace Hakan Calhanoglu Needs Consistent Game Time to Regain Form

Calhanoglu sustained a thigh injury during January’s Supercoppa Italiana final against the Rossoneri.

Little did Simone Inzaghi know it would sideline his standout midfielder for a month.

However, Calhanoglu hasn’t been the same since coming back.

Indeed, his average match rating has plummeted from 6.33 over his first 13 league appearances to just 5.12 in the last four games.

Therefore, he has shockingly become a weak link in the engine room.

But with Inter fighting Napoli for the Scudetto in an intense race, they desperately need the ‘old’ Calhanoglu.

Only consistent minutes on the pitch could help the Turk achieve that goal.
