Overview
- Inter head coach Cristian Chivu confirmed on Friday that Djed Spence is fit and will be included in the matchday squad for Saturday's Serie A game against Parma at San Siro.
- Spence joined Inter from Tottenham in August for about €35m as a direct replacement for Denzel Dumfries and has not yet made a competitive appearance for the club.
- The player missed roughly two months of on-pitch work because of an extended post-World Cup break and a rehabilitation program for a physical issue.
- Spence returned to group training, played briefly in a closed friendly against Lumezzane during the international break, and Chivu said he will be eased into competitive minutes rather than be given a full workload immediately.
- Spence arrives with strong England form from the 2026 World Cup and his availability adds defensive depth for Inter as their domestic schedule intensifies and the club looks to protect its €35m investment.
