Atletico Madrid Vs Inter Milan – Dutch Star Risks Missing Crucial Champions League Clash Due To Ankle Injury | OneFootball

Inter Milan could reportedly be without Denzel Dumfries for their upcoming Champions League clash against Atletico Madrid.

According to Tuttosport via FCInterNews, the Dutchman is more likely to recover for Inter’s next Serie A game against Pisa.

Therefore, Dutch boss Ronald Koeman released him from the national team, allowing him to return to Appiano Gentile to work on his recovery.

However, Sunday’s highly anticipated Milan derby will come too soon for the 29-year-old.

In addition to skipping the famous Serie A derby, Dumfries is also at risk of missing Inter’s trip to Madrid next week.

Indeed, Cristian Chivu will likely have to rely on Carlos Augusto to fill the vacancy on the right wing at the Metropolitano Stadium.

Furthermore, Dumfries is more likely to return to action for Inter’s away league clash against newcomers Pisa next weekend.

Meanwhile, Piotr Zielinski has shrugged off a minor injury and will be ready for Sunday’s match against the Rossoneri.
