The physiotherapist of Inter wingback Dalbert expects that the 29-year-old will be ready to be back in January.

Speaking to Italian news outlet FCInterNews, physiotherapist Rodrigo Peixoto explained that the Brazilian’s recovery has been proceeding well, and that he will be completely fit for next month.

Dalbert sustained a knee injury during the summer transfer window which effectively ruled out the possibility of a move away from Inter for this season.

However, the 29-year-old has been working to get back to fitness, and according to his physiotherapist, the process has been a successful one.

The former Nice wingback should therefore return to Inter in January, although it will remain to be seen what happens next.

Dalbert is under contract with Inter until the end of June 2023, but is not likely to have a place in the first team.

The Brazilian has already had loan spells with the likes of Fiorentina, Rennes, and Cagliari, and could well leave in January if he is fit.

Peixoto explained that “I’ve been working with him for a few seasons, since 2019-20.”

“Every time he works with me we try and understand what the muscular problems are, the imbalances that he’s compensating for, and then we try to recompensate and train.”

“Now Dalbert is in the final stages of recovering from knee surgery, he’s already running and doing strength training, so he will be completely fit for January and the second part of the season.”
