Inter Milan rocked by injuries to Calhanoglu and Acerbi before Genoa clash

The defeat to Liverpool deepens worries for Inter Milan as both Hakan Calhanoglu and Francesco Acerbi are forced off with muscle issues

Two significant setbacks hit Inter Milan ahead of the upcoming match against Genoa, as both Hakan Calhanoglu and Francesco Acerbi picked up injuries during the duel with Liverpool at San Siro. 

The night already carried a sour taste for Inter Milan supporters, clouded by a contentious penalty awarded for an alleged foul by Alessandro Bastoni. The injuries only added further weight to the disappointment.

Calhanoglu exited after ten minutes due to a tightness in his right adductor. Reports from La Gazzetta dello Sport suggest that his hopes of appearing in the Supercoppa are faint. 

Acerbi followed shortly afterward, leaving at the half-hour mark with discomfort in the flexor muscles of his right thigh, casting serious doubt on his availability for the trip to Riyadh. Inter Milan now faces the need to rethink plans both in midfield and in defense.

Medical updates leave Inter Milan waiting for clarity on return dates

According to information gathered by Fcinter1908, there is cautious optimism regarding Calhanoglu, with the belief that the midfielder stopped in time before aggravating the issue. 

He will be evaluated further, though the hope is that no scans will be necessary. Acerbi’s situation appears slightly more complex, and he will undergo medical tests to determine the extent of the muscle problem. Clear timelines for both players will only emerge after the upcoming evaluations.
