The new injury to Calhanoglu has re-opened questions at Inter regarding who will have to replace him. The hope of the Nerazzurri is to be without the Turkish midfielder for just a few days, but his absence for the Verona game seems increasingly likely. And his natural replacement should be Kristjan Asllani.
The Albanian playmaker is under pressure to deliver important responses, because so far he has never really convinced when called upon. Asllani has also been unfortunate in recent weeks, having been injured himself during the same period of Calhanoglu’s absence.
Now could be his time, but everything will depend on the confidence of Inzaghi, who would already have a double plan B ready for the match at Bentegodi. According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, the coach could continue on the path already taken in recent weeks, with two valid options to replace Calhanoglu: Zielinski or Barella.
