Inter Milan ace Hakan Calhanoglu has avoided a muscle injury despite concerns surrounding his fitness after the Supercoppa Italiana final.
According to FCInterNews, medical tests have confirmed no muscle damage for the Turkish star.
Calhanoglu has been the mainstay of Simone Inzaghi’s midfield.
His first-half exit against AC Milan inflicted irreversible damage on Inter’s game plan.
Indeed, Kristjan Asllani failed to live up to Calhanoglu’s high standard, resulting in Inter’s second loss to the Rossoneri this term.
Despite his early withdrawal in Riyadh, the 30-year-old could be at Inzaghi’s disposal next weekend.
Inter will head to Stadio Pier Luigi Penzo to meet relegation-battling Venezia on Sunday.
Though everyone expected Calhanoglu to skip the match, he seems fit to feature, meaning Asllani will likely start on the bench.
Calhanoglu has been omnipresent for Inter this season.
Indeed, he has amassed 21 appearances in all competitions, racking up six goals and two assists.
Therefore, his promising fitness condition must be a huge relief for Inzaghi.
Inter can’t make mistakes at Venezia to stay within striking distance of Serie A leaders Napoli.
Antonio Conte’s men have opened a four-point gap at the table’s summit.
But it’s worth noting that the Nerazzurri have two games in hand.
