Report – Inter Milan Wingback Duo Aiming To Return From Injuries At The Start Of December

Inter Milan stars Denzel Dumfries and Matteo Darmian will miss tonight’s Champions League match against Atletico Madrid.

According to Corriere dello Sport via FCInterNews, the defensive duo could return to the squad at the beginning of December.

Denzel Dumfries suffered a nasty ankle injury during Inter’s 2-0 win over Lazio on the stroke of the international break.

Therefore, he had to watch Sunday’s Milan derby on the sidelines.

Furthermore, Cristian Chivu cannot call upon his starting wingback for tonight’s away game against Los Rojiblancos.

With Dumfries on the sidelines, Luis Henrique is likely to return to the starting lineup tonight.

Indeed, Chivu will likely bench Carlos Augusto following a sub-par performance against the Rossoneri.

Meanwhile, Inter have been without Darmian since late September.

The veteran defender sustained a calf injury during Inter’s 3-0 rout of Slavia Prague in the Champions League.

Although Chivu had hoped to have the 35-year-old available for tonight’s game, Darmian’s recovery is taking longer than expected.
