Hakan Calhanoglu will have to sit out when Milan host Torino tonight, as tests have revealed a muscle injury for the Turkey international.
The attacking midfielder has not been picked for the home game against the Granata tonight after suffering an injury to the “right iliopsoas muscle”, according to the reports in Italian media.
Calciomercato.com has reported that the player will have to undergo further tests this week, to reveal the extent of the injury, but will sit out tonight’s game against Torino.

Giacomo Bonaventura and Lucas Paqueta could fight for his place in the side, as Calhanoglu was expected to sit behind Zlatan Ibrahimovic in a trident with Ante Rebic and Samu Castillejo.
Rafael Leao and Alexis Saelemaekers could also be in contention after the news about Calhanoglu.
The formation might change after the setback, as Stefano Pioli must find a way to cope without his trequartista of late.
It could change to a 4-4-1-1 to make space for Paqueta behind Ibrahimovic up front and differ from the 4-2-3-1 as previously predicted.
Milan (probable): Donnarumma; Calabria, Kjaer, Romagnoli, Theo Hernandez; Castillejo, Kessie, Bennacer, Rebic; Paqueta; Ibrahimovic
