Revealed: When Inter Milan & Netherlands Star Is Expected To Return From Injury As Premier League Clubs Monitor Closely | OneFootball

Inter Milan expect Denzel Dumfries to return from injury in early March, with the Dutch defender already working on a tailored recovery plan, while interest from the Premier League continues to grow ahead of the summer.

In agreement with Inter’s medical staff, the Dutchman is currently completing a physiotherapy programme in the Netherlands, aimed at ensuring he can return at full strength for the decisive phase of the season.

Both player and club share the same objective. Dumfries wants to be available to Cristian Chivu for the crucial months that will define Inter’s campaign across Serie A and Europe.

In the meantime, Matteo Darmian is expected to return sooner and could be back in the squad as early as the trip to Parma.

Dumfries’ situation, however, extends beyond his recovery. The Dutch international has recently changed agents again, a move that has reignited speculation over his long-term future. Inter are aware that a summer exit is a concrete possibility.

The defender has a €25 million release clause, payable in a single instalment. That figure makes him an attractive opportunity for several top Premier League clubs, who have monitored him closely in recent windows.

For now, Inter remain focused on his return. But once the season ends, Dumfries’ future could become one of the key stories of the summer.
