Inter Milan are awaiting further clarity on the condition of Hakan Calhanoglu after the midfielder was forced off late on during Sunday night’s 2-2 draw with Napoli at San Siro.
According to initial reports from FCInterNews, Calhanoglu suffered muscle fatigue in his calf.
It happened after making a tackle inside his own penalty area just minutes before full-time.
The Turkey international immediately signalled a problem and was unable to continue, raising concern on the Inter bench given his importance to the team’s balance and structure.

Medical tests are scheduled for Monday, which will determine the severity of the issue and whether there is any underlying muscle lesion.
For now, the early indication points towards a calf strain rather than a more serious injury.
However, Inter will proceed with caution ahead of a demanding run of fixtures.
Calhanoglu has been a central figure for Inter this season.
He has been dictating play from deep midfield.
Indeed, contributing goals from set pieces and providing leadership during key moments.
Any absence, even a short one, would complicate squad management as the Nerazzurri juggle domestic and European commitments.
Cristian Chivu will be hoping for positive news, particularly with rotation options already stretched in midfield.
Until the results of the examinations are known, Inter will monitor the situation closely.
Indeed, with Calhanoglu’s availability now in doubt for the immediate upcoming matches.
