La Gazzetta dello Sport reports that Hakan Calhanoglu has sustained a strain in the adductor of his right thigh, which will force him to miss the next game against Atalanta, but Inter hope Alessandro Bastoni will recover in time.

Latest Inter injury updates: Bastoni and Calhanoglu
As reported by Gazzetta, the Turkey international underwent medical tests on Monday morning after feeling discomfort during the warm-up of yesterday’s match against Milan.
Examinations highlighted a mild strain in the adductor of his right thigh, which will rule him out of the next league game.
Calhanoglu was an unused substitute during Sunday’s 1-0 loss against Milan. Inter coach Cristian Chivu explained that the Nerazzurri star “wasn’t feeling well,” so he was not involved in the derby.
Last Tuesday, Calhanoglu had played almost an hour in a Coppa Italia semifinal first leg against Como.
As for Bastoni, Inter hope the Azzurri defender won’t need further examinations after being forced to be subbed off against Milan.
As Chivu explained after the match, Bastoni had a “knock in the shin.”
Gazzetta reports that Bastoni was still limping on Monday and will be assessed by Inter doctors on Tuesday, but the Nerazzurri hope he’ll return in time for the next Serie A match.
