Inter say that Francesco Acerbi has suffered a ‘strain in his right thigh’ and, according to reports in Italy, he’ll remain out of action for circa one month, while Hakan Calhanoglu could return in time for next week’s Supercoppa.

Inter released an official injury update on Acerbi, two days after the Italian was subbed off in a Champions League match against Liverpool.

“Francesco Acerbi underwent a medical examination at the Istituto Humanitas di Rozzano this morning. The tests revealed a muscle strain in his right thigh,” the Nerazzurri said on Thursday.

According to Sky Sport Italia (via Calciomercato.com), it’s predictable that Acerbi will be forced to the sidelines for at least one month, given the nature of his injury.

This means that the Italy international will miss next week’s Supercoppa Italiana Final Four.

Calhanoglu was also subbed off due to an injury against Liverpool, but in his case, the Nerazzurri doctors didn’t order medical examinations, as the Turkish star is only dealing with a minor fitness problem.

Nevertheless, Calhanoglu is still expected to miss the next Serie A match against Genoa and return to action for the Supercoppa next week.
