A few minutes after the final whistle of Inter-Napoli, Cristian Chivu was forced last night to make the last three substitutions available. The coach, in fact, had to accept the substitution request from Hakan Calhanoglu, who was left on the ground in pain after a final run back that drained his remaining energy.
Behind the substitution, as revealed by Tuttosport, there was a minor injury. While waiting for further evaluations from the Inter medical staff, it was a calf strain for Calhanoglu. Chivu hopes that there are no more serious consequences behind it, although the presence of the Turkish player for Wednesday’s rescheduled match against Lecce is highly doubtful.
