Anxiety for Calhanoglu? In Turkey: “He trains separately, but he plays”

After coming out of the match against Romania touching his calf, Hakan Calhanoglu is keeping Inter fans anxious as they await the midfielder’s full recovery for the final sprint of this season. An update from Turkey has arrived regarding his condition ahead of the match against Kosovo. According to the portal Sabah Spor, Calhanoglu did not take part in training and, together with Merih Demiral, only did a light running session. However, this appears to be just a precautionary measure following the long period of inactivity, which led the Turkish staff to set up a personalized training program that will not prevent him from regularly being on the field in the playoff final for the World Cup.

Journalist Giovanni Capuano, also responding to complaints from some fans worried about Calhanoglu being pushed to play with Turkey, replied: “A thousand times national teams abuse the patience of clubs, but to think that a player might not push himself to be on the field in a World Cup playoff isn’t even an illusion. It’s madness.”
