Report – Inter Milan & Dutch Wingback Facing Extended Layoff As Recovery Proves Complicated

Inter Milan talisman Denzel Dumfries could miss the upcoming Supercoppa Italiana mini-tournament in Saudi Arabia.

According to Gazzetta dello Sport via FCInterNews, the Dutch wingback continues to feel pain in his ankle.

Denzel Dumfries suffered a nasty injury during Inter’s home win over Lazio on the eve of the November international break.

Though the issue seemed innocuous at first, the 29-year-old is still unable to return to action.

Furthermore, Dumfries could be absent from Inter’s high-stakes Super Cup showdown against Bologna next week.

Cristian Chivu had hoped to have his starting wingback ready for Tuesday’s clash against Liverpool.

However, after missing Inter’s last Champions League game, Dumfries could skip two more matches.

Indeed, it’s now a near-certainty that he won’t travel with the squad to Genoa on Sunday.

Moreover, there’s only a slim chance he’ll be fit for the Riyadh-held Super Cup.
