After the September break, during which players like Amir Rrahmani and Albert Gudmundsson were injured, and the October break, which particularly affected Milan, forcing them to do without Adrien Rabiot and Christian Pulisic, let's see who returned to Italy with some issues in this November window.

Dusan Vlahovic

Following the match between Serbia and England, Dusan Vlahovic suffered an adductor strain that will keep him resting in the coming days. The Serbian national team's doctors have ruled out any injuries, but the Juventus striker's participation against Fiorentina remains at risk.

Assane Diao

Having just returned from a long injury, Assane Diao is back on the sidelines. The Senegalese talent from Como injured the hamstring muscle of his left thigh during his national team's training camp. Diao, who could not participate in the prestigious friendly against Brazil, will almost certainly miss the match against Torino.

Emil Holm

Emil Holm was injured in the second half of the match between his Sweden and Switzerland. The Bologna winger felt a muscle problem in his right thigh that will be evaluated in the coming days. His presence in the match against Udinese is doubtful.

Ivan Ilic

Ivan Ilic was forced to be substituted during the first half of the match between Serbia and England. The Torino player suffered an unnatural twist of the knee. His condition will be better evaluated in the coming days to determine if Ilic can be available for the match against Como.

Denzel Dumfries

Denzel Dumfries left the Netherlands' training camp due to a slight discomfort in his left ankle sustained during last Tuesday's training. It should not be anything serious. Since last Saturday, the Inter winger has started physiotherapy at Appiano Gentile and should be available for the derby against Milan.

Nicolò Cambiaghi

Nicolò Cambiaghi was in great form and had earned a spot in Gennaro Gattuso's national team. However, during the training camp with the Azzurri, the Bologna winger suffered a first-degree lesion of the right soleus that will keep him off the pitch for about 3 weeks.

Frank Anguissa

Frank Anguissa has been one of the standout players of the Serie A season so far. However, Cameroon could not rely on his form because the Napoli midfielder suffered a muscle problem in the training session before the African playoff semifinal for the World Cup. This problem turned out to be a high-grade lesion of the left hamstring. This injury casts doubt on Anguissa's participation in the Africa Cup of Nations, which begins on December 21, and means Napoli fans will see him back on the field in 2026.

Hakan Calhanoglu

Hakan Calhanoglu is doubtful for the Milan derby scheduled for November 23. The Inter midfielder suffered a wrist injury against Bulgaria, which will make him miss the last World Cup qualifying match between Turkey and Spain. His condition will be monitored daily.
