Albania EURO 2024 Star Could Start Instead of Türkiye Captain In Feyenoord Vs Inter Milan Champions League Clash | OneFootball

Inter Milan manager Simone Inzaghi could bench Hakan Calhanoglu in tomorrow’s match against Feyenoord in favor of Kristjan Asllani.

According to Sky Sport Italia via FCInterNews, the Albania international is in contention for a place at the heart of the Nerazzurri midfield.

Hakan Calhanoglu slumped to a minor fitness problem in Saturday’s Serie A showdown against Napoli.

But he resumed full training today, leading everyone to expect he should be in the starting line-up at De Kuip.

However, Inzaghi still holds some doubts.

Kristjan Asllani Could Dislodge Hakan Calhanoglu from Starting XI in Feyenoord vs Inter Milan Clash

Asllani deputized for the 31-year-old during his month-long spell on the sidelines earlier this year.

Yet, he has barely played since Calhanoglu regained fitness.

Given the importance of tomorrow’s game in Rotterdam, Simone Inzaghi would be well-advised not to take risks.

Indeed, fielding Asllani from the first minute would be a gamble, considering his lack of match routine.

Therefore, it’s only an idea. That’s largely thanks to Calhanoglu’s dubious fitness condition.

However, if passed fit, the Turkish star should start.
