Denzel Dumfries returned to Milan yesterday after spending recent weeks in the Netherlands, where he followed a recovery plan overseen by a trusted specialist. He will now continue his rehabilitation at Appiano Gentile under the supervision of Inter’s medical staff.

The Dutch winger sustained a hamstring injury during the league match against Atalanta, an issue that turned out to be more complicated than initially expected. Consequently, Simone Inzaghi and the entire medical team are concerned, given the crucial moment of the season. To clarify the situation to the fans, Dumfries himself posted a message on social media explaining the delay compared to the original recovery estimates.

These were his words: This injury is trickier and more stubborn than I’d hoped, but it won’t stop me. I’m doing everything possible to come back stronger, even if it means respecting the timing and not rushing things. Nature has its own timeframe, and I need to trust it. But I will soon return to the place I want to be. Until then, patience and hard work. The comeback is near.
