Inter Milan defender Denzel Dumfries is pushing hard for a speedy recovery as he works his way back from ankle surgery, with the World Cup also firmly in his sights.

The right wing-back offered a glimpse into his recovery through his social media channels, sharing images of intense gym sessions and individual work.
