Stefan de Vrij has not suffered a serious injury, and the Dutch defender will be fit for Sunday’s Serie A match between Atalanta and Inter Milan.

This according to today’s print edition of Milan-based newspaper Gazzetta dello Sport, via FCInterNews. They report that de Vrij has only suffered some slight inflammation in his knee.

Stefan de Vrij pulled out of the squad for Inter’s Champions League clash with Feyenoord on Tuesday.

Reports had indicated that the former Lazio defender would start the round of sixteen second leg match. However, he felt a problem with his knee in the warmup.

Therefore, de Vrij did not play yesterday. Instead, Francesco Acerbi started in the centre of Inter’s back three.

No Injury For Stefan De Vrij – Fit For Atalanta Vs Inter Milan Clash

Naturally, there has been some doubt about whether de Vrij could return for Inter’s next match.

Inter only have one more match to go before the March international break. But it is a huge one.

The Nerazzurri travel to Bergamo to take on Atalanta next Sunday, with that match already feeling like a potential title-decider.

Therefore, Inter will hardly want to deal with too many injuries for such a big match.

According to the Gazzetta, Stefan de Vrij underwent tests with the Inter Milan medical staff.

And there was a sigh of relief from these, the outlet report. These tests ruled out a tear to de Vrij’s meniscus.

Rather, the Dutchman is just dealing with some inflammation.

Therefore, it will only be a few days before de Vrij has recovered.

Accordingly, de Vrij should be available for the match against Atalanta.
