Inter Milan have received reassuring news regarding Denzel Dumfries, after the full-back was left out of the Netherlands’ squad for tonight’s World Cup qualifier against Poland.

According to Sky Sport, the decision by Ronald Koeman to exclude Dumfries from the fixture in Warsaw was precautionary.

This followed slight discomfort in his left ankle.

For Inter’s medical staff, the situation is not considered serious, and the wing-back will return to Italy in the coming hours to begin a short recovery programme at Appiano Gentile.

Dumfries is expected to start physiotherapy tomorrow.

Therefore, he should be fit in time for the Milan derby on November 23.

As a result, the Dutchman will also miss Monday’s qualifier against Lithuania in Amsterdam.

Indeed, the Netherlands opted not to take any risks with his fitness.

Inter will monitor his condition closely over the next few days.

However, early signs suggest Dumfries should be available for selection when Serie A resumes after the international break.

Indeed, a boost for Cristian Chivu, who views the former PSV man as a vital part of his system.
