Hakan Calhanoglu was positive to coronavirus before. His first appearance after he's returned was against Crotone where he looked like he was in good form, proving it by providing two assists and helping his team secure the three points at the San Siro stadium.
However, the Turk number 10 of the Rossoneri did not manage to make the impact desired against Spezia, as the whole team did not seem to be functioning well as a unit.
The newspaper of La Gazzetta dello Sport points out that "The Turk disappoints but it is all Covid's fault". There was great anticipation for the return as starter of the AC Milan playmaker, but in La Spezia the AC Milan attacking midfielder disappointed a lot.
Calhanoglu, however, has a mitigating factor because he was forced to be unavailable for two weeks due to Covid-19 and it is known that this virus does not let go of you easily. Therefore a little bit of time and patience is needed to see the attacking midfielder hit top form again.
