Inter dealt a blow: Dumfries needs surgery, faces lengthy spell out | OneFootball

Bad news for Inter: Denzel Dumfries underwent surgery today on his left ankle due to a problem that had sidelined him in recent weeks. The operation took place at the “Fortius Clinic” in London, where the Dutch winger received a stabilization treatment to definitively resolve the injury.

Inter, what a blow! Dumfries undergoes surgery and the layoff is very long

According to the club’s official statement, Dumfries will follow a personalized rehabilitation program in the coming weeks, designed to ensure a safe return to the pitch. At the moment, it is not possible to provide an exact recovery timeline, but an absence of at least two to three months is certain.

This news complicates Cristian Chivu’s plans, as he will have to rely on Carlos Augusto as the starting right-back, with Diouf as an alternative while waiting for Darmian’s return. However, the club does not rule out making a move in the market during the upcoming January window: among the names being considered are Norton-Cuffy from Genoa, Moris Valincic from Dinamo Zagreb, and Idrissa Touré from Pisa.

Inter will therefore have to manage a delicate period on the right flank, balancing between the recovery of injured players and possible external reinforcements, in order to face the upcoming league and European competition challenges in the best way possible. In the meantime, Dumfries can focus on his rehabilitation, with the goal of returning to the pitch as soon as possible.
