Overview
- Djed Spence trained on the grass with Inter’s first‑team group on Friday, September 11, moving out of separate gym work and into full team sessions.
- Inter signed Spence from Tottenham in mid‑August in a deal reported at about €35 million including bonuses.
- The defender missed pre‑season conditioning because of a muscular problem picked up during the World Cup and has spent his first weeks at Appiano Gentile receiving treatment.
- Head coach Cristian Chivu is avoiding a rush back to play and may only include Spence in squads as a precaution before the international break, with SportMediaset reporting his likely debut is pencilled for October 10 at San Siro versus Parma.
- Andy Diouf has filled the right wing‑back role by starting three of Inter’s four competitive matches so far, leaving Spence to use the break to finish his conditioning and compete for a starting place.
