Inter Milan midfielder Davide Frattesi is on the verge of returning to training after undergoing abdominal surgery earlier in July.

According to Gazzetta dello Sport via FCInterNews, Frattesi could join Inter’s pre-season camp by the weekend.

New Inter boss Cristian Chivu is keen to hand the 25-year-old a more prominent role at San Siro next term.

Indeed, Simone Inzaghi’s exit at the end of last season has significantly boosted Frattesi’s first-team prospects.

Inter Milan Ace Davide Frattesi Set to Return to Training

Although Davide Frattesi won’t rejoin full squad sessions immediately, he will be at Appiano Gentile this weekend.

Indeed, a personalized workout awaits the former Sassuolo ace as he bids to regain full fitness.

Furthermore, he could feature in Inter’s final pre-season friendly against Olympiacos in mid-August.

As for Chivu’s plans for Frattesi, there’s a feeling that he could leapfrog Henrikh Mkhitaryan in the pecking order.

With Inter set to switch to a more fluid 3-4-2-1 formation, dynamism could make him a better fit in the front third.
