Inter Milan positive injury news ahead of the Derby

Inter Milan receive positive injury news ahead of the derby, with some key players ready to return

In the coming days, Chivu will also be reunited with the international players, but updates have already arrived from Appiano about those who remained at the training ground. 

According to Sky Sport via Fcinter1908, Matteo Darmian is now fully recovered. The defender had been dealing with muscle fatigue that forced him to miss recent matches, but he is back in full training and will be available for Chivu in the derby.

Darmian back, Thuram improving, Dumfries safe, Mkhitaryan out

Marcus Thuram is also pushing to return to the starting lineup. The Inter Milan striker used the international break to regain his condition after the muscular injury he suffered in the Champions League match against Slavia Prague, which had sidelined him for nearly two months. His goal is to start from the opening whistle against the Rossoneri.

Denzel Dumfries has returned to Milan after experiencing a minor ankle sprain during international duty. 

However, Sky Sport reports that the issue is mild and does not raise concerns for the upcoming derby. The winger is expected to be at Chivu’s disposal without restrictions.

Henrikh Mkhitaryan, on the other hand, will not be part of the squad. The Armenian midfielder is recovering from a muscular strain that requires at least another week before he can return to action. As a result, he will miss the derby.
