The extent of the injury and the recovery time remains to be discovered, but he will certainly miss Thursday’s Europa League group stage opener against Celtic.
According to a report from MilanNews, Calhanoglu has suffered what is believed to be a sprain to his left ankle, so today and/or tomorrow he will undergo medical checks to assess the extent of the damage suffered.
However, if it is confirmed as a sprain then the recovery time should not be too worrying. It is common for athletes to recovered from ankle sprains in 2-10 days depending on the extent of the sprain and the swelling incurred.
