Official – Inter Milan & Dutch Wingback Undergoes Ankle Surgery

Though the injury seemed innocuous at first, Dumfries has been unable to return to action for over a month.

Despite the club’s hopes of having him back for the Supercoppa Italiana, Cristian Chivu couldn’t call upon his starting wingback.

Tired of waiting for his condition to improve, Dumfries has decided to go under the knife to address this niggling problem.

According to Eurosport, this could force him to stay in the pits for a further 8-12 weeks.

Now, he will follow a rehabilitation program over the coming weeks.

Dumfries’ absence could not have come at a worse moment for Inter, given the upcoming fixture schedule.

Therefore, the club will return to the market to replace the former PSV Eindhoven star in January.
