Bologna Vs Inter Milan – Turkey Playmaker Could Make Cameo Appearance Despite Minor Injury | OneFootball

Inter Milan manager Cristian Chivu is reportedly hesitant to put Hakan Calhanoglu at risk in Friday’s match against Bologna.

According to Tuttosport via FCInterNews, the 31-year-old could only make a cameo appearance in Riyadh.

An adductor problem forced Hakan Calhanoglu off during Inter’s controversial home loss to Liverpool last Tuesday.

Therefore, the Turkish midfielder missed Sunday’s trip to Genoa, with Piotr Zielinski filling his shoes in Inter’s 2-1 win at the Marassi.

Moreover, the Polish star is likely to start again when Inter face Bologna in a mouth-watering Supercoppa Italiana clash on Friday.

Despite including Calhanoglu in his Supercoppa squad, Cristian Chivu is unwilling to risk aggravating the midfielder’s fitness.

As such, the former AC Milan playmaker will start on the bench, with Zielinski expected to take his place once again.

However, he could make a late cameo appearance, particularly if the match situation calls for it.
