Inter Milan stars Stefan de Vrij and Denzel Dumfries aren’t available for the showdown against Lazio but will both return to action later this month.

This weekend, the Nerazzurri travel to Rome for an anticipated encounter against Maurizio Sarri’s men. The match takes place at the Stadio Olimpico on Sunday evening.

According to La Gazzetta dello Sport via FcInter1908, the two Netherlands internationals will skip this fixture as they’re yet to recover from their respective injuries.

De Vrij sustained an adductor knock during the 3-0 win over Napoli at the Maradona Stadium. He had to leave the pitch in the early stages of the match.

The pink newspaper expects the defender to miss the midweek Coppa Italia fixture against Bologna as well.

The 31-year-old should eventually make himself available for the next weekend’s Serie A encounter against Lecce.

The Nerazzurri will host the Giallorossi at the Giuseppe Meazza Stadium on Saturday, December 23rd.

Inter Milan Duo Denzel Dumfries & Stefan De Vrij Will Return To Action In Coming Weeks

On the other hand, Dumfries’ recovery could require an additional week.

Therefore, the report tips the wingback to make his return to action at the Luigi Ferraris against Genoa on December 29th.

Inter coach Simone Inzaghi is certainly missing the services of the wingback who has been instrumental this season. The Dutchman has thus far contributed with two goals and four assists across all competitions.

Moreover, Juan Cuadrado will soon undergo surgery, leaving Matteo Darmian as the only natural option for the right wingback role.
