On Sunday evening, Inter wrapped up a period full of numerous matches played within a short time span across multiple competitions, including Serie A, Coppa Italia, and the Champions League. The Nerazzurri ended this busy phase in the best possible way by defeating Atalanta and consolidating their top position in the league standings. However, there was also some bad news.
The Nerazzurri coach Simone Inzaghi has already been dealing for several weeks with an emergency situation on the flanks, due to various injuries affecting players in that role. The latest to be hit was Denzel Dumfries, who suffered an injury at the Gewiss Stadium and was forced off to be replaced by Bisseck in the second half.
According to reports by Sport Mediaset, Inter’s number 2 could be sidelined for 3-4 weeks due to this muscular injury. Dumfries is now considered at risk for the Champions League quarterfinal first leg against Bayern Munich, scheduled for April 8, which is targeted as the date for his potential return to action.
Some concern had already emerged in the previous hours, when the Dutch National Team announced that Dumfries would not join the Oranje camp due to his injury. Now everyone awaits an official statement from Inter to confirm whether the early April timeline for his return will be maintained.
