Inter injury worries: Calhanoglu, Acerbi doubts for Super Cup | OneFootball

During last night’s match against Liverpool in the Champions League, two of Inter’s starters left the field in the first half due to injury, adding to a long list of unavailable players.

Inter, injury alarm: Calhanoglu and Acerbi also stop, risk of losing them for the Super Cup as well?

There’s no peace for Cristian Chivu; the clash with Liverpool comes at a high price for the Romanian coach, who loses two starters during the first half: in the 11th minute, Hakan Calhanoglu was forced to request a substitution due to discomfort in his inner thigh (replaced by Piotr Zielinski). According to the initial diagnosis, it appears to be an adductor problem that shouldn’t keep the Turkish player off the field for long. Just twenty minutes later, another starter had to give up: in the 31st minute, Francesco Acerbi called the bench’s attention to be substituted, complaining of a flexor issue (replaced by Bisseck). Both players will be assessed in the coming hours through instrumental tests to clarify the extent of their injuries.

Super Cup at risk?

While Calhanoglu’s recovery time should be shorter, for Acerbi it seems unlikely he’ll be fit in time for Inter’s upcoming commitments: on the horizon is Sunday’s away match against Genoa in the league, followed by the Super Cup semifinal against Bologna scheduled for December 17 in Arabia.
