The national team break will grant Inter Milan a couple of weeks’ rest before a very demanding run of fixtures that will involve the Nerazzurri at least throughout April, possibly all the way until the end of the season. For coach Simone Inzaghi and his team, it will therefore be crucial to recover as much energy as possible.
That’s not all. These two weeks will also be helpful regarding player injuries, allowing injured players to use this period to aim for a return ahead of upcoming matches. In particular, Inter has experienced a clear emergency situation on the flanks for some time now. Will the situation improve after the break? Let’s try and understand the latest scenario.
Inter’s wingers: updates on injury recovery times
The latest player sidelined for the Nerazzurri was Denzel Dumfries, who left during the second half of Atalanta-Inter due to muscle discomfort. The Dutch player has been sent home from the Netherlands squad, and more clarity about his condition will only arrive after medical examinations carried out by Inter in the next few days. The hope is to have him immediately available for the match against Udinese, although right now there are no certainties.
Nicola Zalewski, who was initially called up for Poland, but later sent back to Italy, will also remain at Appiano Gentile. This is positive news for Simone Inzaghi and Inter, as it could facilitate Zalewski’s recovery, making him available for their first post-international break fixture.
The same hope applies to Matteo Darmian, while more caution is needed regarding Federico Dimarco‘s condition. Dimarco is also expected back after the break, but his return carries the most uncertainty. The key question now is whether he’ll be fit enough at least for the first leg of the Coppa Italia derby clash.
