The Turkish star sustained a minor muscle injury while on international duty. Although preliminary exams have ruled out a severe injury, Inter doctors are waiting to visit the player to make their own assessments.

Sky Sport Italia reported on Sunday that the Nerazzurri were working to bring Calhanoglu back to Milan, but according to Gazzetta, Turkey has not yet agreed to release the player. As planned before his injury, he may return to Italy on Wednesday.

Calhanoglu won’t be involved in Turkey’s Nations League game against Montenegro on Tuesday and will likely be ruled out of Inter’s next match as well, even if just precautionary.

According to Gazzetta, in fact, Inter hope to rely on a fully fit Calhanoglu for a Champions League meeting with RB Leipzig on November 26.
