Inter Milan star midfielder Hakan Calhanoglu is reportedly facing a month-long spell on the sidelines due to a calf injury.

According to Inter.it, the 31-year-old underwent detailed medical checks at the Humanitas Clinical Institute in Rozzano this morning.

Unfortunately for Cristian Chivu, the tests revealed a muscle strain in the Turk’s left calf.

Therefore, Hakan Calhanoglu will not be at Chivu’s disposal for tomorrow’s Serie A home clash against Lecce.

Calhanoglu had to come off in the final stages of Inter’s home match against Napoli on Sunday.

Though the injury didn’t look serious at first, the former AC Milan ace could be out for at least three weeks.

As such, Chivu will not be able to call upon his talismanic playmaker for Inter’s last two Champions League outings, as per FCInterNews.

The Nerazzurri will take on Arsenal at home and Borussia Dortmund on the road in a high-stakes league-stage finale.

However, Calhanoglu will not be part of the team, with his return expected at the beginning of February.
