Report – Netherlands Wingback Recovers For River Plate Clash But Inter Milan Cannot Count On France & Italy Stars | OneFootball

Inter Milan star Denzel Dumfries could make his FIFA Club World Cup debut against River Plate this midweek.

Per La Repubblica via FCInterNews, the Netherlands international has regained full fitness.

Denzel Dumfries was out of the squad in the opening two rounds.

Indeed, Matteo Darmian deputized for the Dutch wingback in a 1-1 draw against Monterrey.

Meanwhile, Luis Henrique filled the void against Urawa Reds, but the newcomer’s showing flattered to deceive.

Despite returning to training, the 29-year-old will unlikely start in Group E’s top-of-the-table six-pointer.

Instead, Cristian Chivu will likely choose between Darmian and Henrique.

Given the importance of the game, the Italian veteran looks like a wiser choice.

On the other hand, Chivu is still without several key first-team stars.

Yann Bisseck, Hakan Calhanoglu, Benjamin Pavard, and Piotr Zielinski are still on the sidelines.

Furthermore, Davide Frattesi and Marcus Thuram have worked separately from the squad in recent days.

Therefore, one of the Esposito brothers will likely take the Frenchman’s place alongside Lautaro Martinez in attack.
