Report – Inter Milan Optimistic About Welcoming Turkey & Swiss Stars Back For Trip To Fiorentina | OneFootball

Inter Milan stars Manuel Akanji and Hakan Calhanoglu could reportedly feature in the upcoming Serie A clash against Fiorentina.

According to Corriere dello Sport via FCInter1908, the Nerazzurri are optimistic about having their two stars back for Sunday’s trip to Tuscany.

Manuel Akanji had to be taken off in last weekend’s home draw against Atalanta after suffering a knock.

Indeed, Stefan de Vrij replaced him in the 80th minute.

However, the Swiss center-back is reportedly on the verge of recovery and should be at Chivu’s disposal on Sunday.

Furthermore, talismanic striker Lautaro Martinez is also close to overcoming his niggling calf problem.

Inter Milan Optimistic About Having Akanji & Calhanoglu Fit for Fiorentina Clash

Lautaro’s return from injury comes as a major boost for Inter, as Marcus Thuram delivered another underwhelming performance against La Dea.

Meanwhile, Calhanoglu could make his long-awaited return to action this weekend.

Indeed, the Turkish playmaker has shrugged off a muscle problem and will be in contention for the matchday squad.

Calhanoglu’s recovery arrives at an opportune moment for the Nerazzurri.

Henrikh Mkhitaryan sustained a muscle injury against Atalanta and will likely miss the upcoming showdown at Artemio Franchi.

However, with Calhanoglu and Akanji set to recover in time, Chivu will be looking to halt Inter’s three-game winless streak on Sunday.
