Inter Confirm Dumfries’ Ankle Surgery in London, Months-Long Layoff Expected

The champions have pivoted to recruiting a right wing-back in January to protect their title push.

Overview

  • Inter’s statement confirms left-ankle stabilization at London’s Fortius Clinic, with Italian reports suggesting an absence of roughly two to three months.
  • Dumfries said the operation "went well" and that he is now focused on recovery after a difficult month.
  • Inter are evaluating January solutions, with Genoa’s Brooke Norton-Cuffy repeatedly reported as the primary target at an indicative €20m price.
  • Further options reported include Marco Palestra as a longer-term heir and Dodo, Wesley, Rafik Belghali, Moris Valincic and Porto’s Alberto Costa as alternatives.
  • Luis Henrique, Carlos Augusto and Matteo Darmian are covering the position for now, as Dumfries’ longer-term future remains uncertain following an agent change and a reported €25m summer clause.
