September’s international break has halted proceedings in top European leagues, with Inter Milan stars back with their national teams.

Denzel Dumfries has joined the Netherlands squad ahead of their opening Nations League games against Bosnia and Germany.

Ronald Koeman praised the Inter defender on Tuesday, naming him one of the team leaders.

Dumfries has battled Matteo Darmian for a starting berth at Inter in the early stage of the 2024/25 season.

However, he remains an essential part of Koeman’s set-up.

The 28-year-old took to Instagram with a picture of himself at the national team’s gathering.
