Denzel Dumfries has been absent since the last international break due to an ankle injury. The problem seemed mild at first. Instead, he has missed six matches already, and he\u2019ll skip a few more, as he doesn\u2019t really have a firm timetable to return.<\/p>\n
According to La Gazzetta dello Sport<\/em>, the fullback is still in pain whenever he tries to ramp up. The Inter staff is taking it slow to make sure the issue won\u2019t linger once he heals up.<\/p>\n Dumfries has taken advantage of the forced stoppage to handle some off-the-pitch business. He has opted to change his representative for a second time in a relatively short period. He\u2019ll leave Jorge Mendes and is in talks with Ali Barat. He helms Epic Sports and brokered the transfers of Nicolas Jackson to Bayern Munich, Xavi Simons to Tottenham, and Nodi Madueke and Piero Hincapi\u00e9 to Arsenal, among others, in the past window.<\/p>\n The Dutchman has had a couple of restless summers due to a recurring \u20ac25M release clause. It\u2019ll be valid next July as well. He\u2019s open to transferring, but only to a top team, or he\u2019ll stay at San Siro. For instance, he turned down West Ham a few months ago.<\/p>\n It wouldn\u2019t be hard to argue that, among their top players, he had the most trouble adjusting to the arrival of Christian Chivu. However, he rarely rested because his replacements hadn\u2019t been up to the task until recently. Only a new contract can remove the threat. Regardless of the results so far, Inter are surely well aware of it, as they invested a decent buck in the same role.<\/p>\n <\/p><\/div>\nOur Take on Inter and Dumfries<\/h3>\n
