Inter Milan star Denzel Dumfries is reportedly on the verge of undergoing ankle surgery amid a lengthy spell on the sidelines.
According to Gazzetta dello Sport via FCInterNews, surgery has become the most realistic solution for Dumfries’ problem.
Denzel Dumfries suffered an ankle injury during Inter’s home win over Lazio at the beginning of November.
Indeed, Mattia Zaccagni awkwardly fell on the Dutchman’s ankle under the challenge of Petar Sucic.
Though the injury seemed innocuous at first, Dumfries has failed to recover as expected.
Inter Milan Scouring Market to Replace Denzel Dumfries
It’s hard to predict when the 29-year-old could return to the pitch.
With Luis Henrique continuing to struggle in Serie A, Inter will likely try to sign a new wingback in January.
Indeed, the San Siro giants cannot rely on the Brazilian to fill Dumfries’ shoes after an underwhelming first half of the season.
As for Dumfries, Inter will make a final decision regarding surgery today.
However, it’s now all but certain that the former PSV Eindhoven ace will go under the knife.
