Inter midfielder Haka Calhanolgu is likely to get the chance to play against his former team in the Derby della Madonnina this Sunday, according to a report in the Italian media today.

As has been reported by La Gazzetta dello Sport today, Simone Inzaghi appears set to give the third midfield slot in the team to Hakan Calhanoglu instead of Arturo Vidal.

They are the two players who have a real chance of locking down that position alongside Nicolo Barella and Marcelo Brozovicin the Inter midfield.

Arturo Vidal has been very impressive in the games where he has been given a chance by the coach, especially in the two Champions League matches against FC Sheriff that Inter won.

Despite this, Simone Inzaghi clearly feels that Hakan Calhanoglu is in a position to inflict serious damage on the team that he left on a free transfer at the start of the summer transfer window.
