Inter Milan star wingback Denzel Dumfries is reportedly on the verge of returning to action following a lengthy spell on the sidelines.
According to Gazzetta dello Sport via FCInterNews, the Dutchman could make his long-awaited return in the Milan derby.

Denzel Dumfries sustained a nasty ankle injury during Inter’s 2-0 home win over Lazio at the start of November.
Furthermore, he underwent surgery in December, with the initial prognosis suggesting he could be out until mid-March.
However, the 29-year-old resumed partial training yesterday.

Despite training partially with the squad, Dumfries will not be available for Saturday’s home clash against Juventus.

Therefore, Cristian Chivu is likely to rely on Luis Henrique to deputize for the former PSV Eindhoven star.
Henrique got off the mark in last weekend’s 5-0 thrashing of Sassuolo and should enter this fixture in high spirits.
Meanwhile, Dumfries could be back at Chivu’s disposal at the beginning of March.
Indeed, he might feature for Inter in the iconic Milan derby, which will take place on March 8.
