Hakan to miss match against AS Roma due to injury

Inter have suffered a major blow ahead of their upcoming clash against AS Roma, with Turkish star Hakan Çalhanoğlu confirmed to miss the match scheduled for next Saturday due to the injury that kept him out of the recent encounter against Udinese.

Medical examinations have revealed that the player has suffered a muscle strain in the adductor muscles of his right thigh, and his condition will be monitored over the coming days to determine the exact duration of his absence.

Hakan Çalhanoğlu's absence is a significant blow for coach Cristian Kivu, especially since the Turkish midfielder is one of the key players in Inter's lineup, which has made a perfect start in Serie A, collecting 12 points from the first four matches.

Inter are set to face AS Roma on Saturday, September 19, at the Stadio Olimpico, in a clash between two teams with a perfect record of 12 points each. The absence of Hakan Çalhanoğlu adds an extra challenge for Kievo's squad in one of the strongest matches of the fifth round.
