Denzel dumfries returns to inter training after long injury layoff, hakan calhanoglu remains out

Inter's denzel dumfries returns to training after months out with injury

Italian champions Inter have welcomed back Netherlands international Denzel Dumfries to training after a lengthy layoff due to a foot injury. The 29-year-old right-back has not played for the Nerazzurri since November, when he suffered the problem during a match against Lazio.

After weeks of therapy with little progress, Dumfries underwent surgery at the Fortius Clinic in London in December to stabilize the affected ankle. Now, he is making a comeback with Inter's medical staff.

Dumfries expected to feature against genoa, calhanoglu remains doubtful

While Dumfries is targeting a return to action for Inter's Serie A match against Genoa on Saturday, compatriot Hakan calhanoglu remains a doubt. The Turkish midfielder has largely recovered from an adductor strain but needs a few extra days of evaluation.

• Dumfries has been out since November 9, 2022
• He underwent surgery on December 16 at the Fortius Clinic in London
• Expected to feature for Inter against Genoa on February 25 (subject to fitness)

Calhanoglu remains a doubt for inter's genoa clash

Despite practicing with the team, calhanoglu still requires a medical check ahead of the Genoa match. He has made good progress but needs more time to ensure he is fully ready for competitive action.
