Inter Milan’s Wingback Denzel Dumfries will be absent from tonight’s Champions League clash with Benfica as he has not traveled with the rest of the squad.
According to Rome-based newspaper Corriere dello Sport, as reported by FCInterNews, the 27-year-old Dutch international has been dealing with muscle fatigue due to overuse at both club and international levels.
Inter’s lack of backup for Dumfries in the squad has posed a significant problem, especially with Juan Cuadrado, the intended backup, being unavailable for long periods this season. Additionally, the injury to Benjamin Pavard has limited defensive options.
