A news report explains why Inter Milan coach Simone Inzaghi is particularly concerned with the condition of his wingback Denzel Dumfries.
Earlier this week, Alessandro Bastoni returned to Appiano Gentile prematurely after sustaining an injury with the Italian national team camp.
The 24-year-old defender will most likely miss next weekend’s crunch battle against Juventus at the Allianz Stadium.
Moreover, Inzaghi is already without Benjamin Pavard who sustained a knock earlier this month.
Therefore, the last thing the Inter manager needs at the moment is another injury for a key player.
So according to Il Corriere dello Sport via FcInterNews, Inzaghi is crossing his fingers, hoping that Dumfries returns to Italy in good physical shape.
As the source explains, the Dutchman was exhausted at the end of the last mini-cycle.
Therefore, Inzaghi is sweating over the wingback’s condition.
Dumfries should take part in the Netherlands’ upcoming fixture against the Republic of Ireland.
The Oranje are yet to secure their spot in the Euro 2024 finals. Nevertheless, a win over the Irish tomorrow in Amsterdam would certainly boost their chances.
On Tuesday, the Netherlands take on European minnows Gibraltar in the final matchday of the qualifiers.
Inter Milan Coach Simone Inzaghi Is Crossing His Fingers Hoping That Denzel Dumfries Returns Fit From International Duty
As for Inzaghi, he can only hope that his tired wingback avoids injury and make himself available at his disposal for next weekend’s clash.
The source also notes that Yann Bisseck could earn additional playing time amidst the current injury crisis.
Moreover, Federico Dimarco and Carlos Augusto could both feature in the starting line-up on the left flank if Inzaghi can’t find alternatives.
