Inter responded decisively to Roma’s 2-0 victory in Turin, scoring five goals against Udinese (5-3).
This was a comeback, considering they had secured a 2-0 lead after just 16 minutes thanks to goals from Abankwah and Ekkelenkamp.
The match didn’t get off to a good start, even before Pairetto’s kickoff, as Çalhanoğlu was forced to sit out the training session and didn’t even make the bench.
The Turkish midfielder, as reported by La Gazzetta dello Sport, will undergo tests today to receive a more in-depth diagnosis of the issue, which has so far been ruled a muscle strain in his adductors.
This issue was compounded by Stones’ injury, who was forced off the pitch in the 62nd minute yesterday.
Çalhanoğlu and Stones’ presence against Roma is at serious risk. The match is scheduled for Saturday at 6:00 PM, just five days from now.
There’s no reason to worry about the Turkish midfielder yet, but he’s doubtful for the away match against the Giallorossi. Everything will depend on today’s medical tests.
