Sky Sport Italia confirms Hakan Calhanoglu won’t be available for Inter’s Serie A game against Hellas Verona on Saturday.

Although recent medical tests ruled out any lesion, Calhanoglu will remain at Appiano Gentile to recover for next week’s Champions League game against RB Leipzig at San Siro.

Calhanoglu has scored four goals in 12 appearances across all competitions this season, two in Serie A and two in the Champions League.

Kristjan Asllani is expected to replace the Turkish star in Verona even if Nicolò Barella and Piotr Zielinski have previously been deployed as deep-lying playmakers for the Nerazzurri.

Inter are level on 25 points with Fiorentina, Atalanta and Lazio, just one below their latest Serie A opponent Napoli, the current table leaders.
