Inter Milan received a potential blow ahead of the upcoming derby against Milan, as reports indicate that Dutch full-back Denzel Dumfries faces a high possibility of missing the match due to injury.

According to sources, the player has not fully recovered from his injury sustained with the Dutch national team, making his participation in the anticipated encounter highly doubtful, with daily monitoring of his medical condition by the technical staff.

If Dumfries' absence is confirmed, Brazilian Carlos Augusto is considered the primary candidate to replace him on the right side, especially given his technical readiness and ability to perform diverse defensive and offensive roles that suit the coach’s style.

Inter is expected to finalize the Dutch player's status in the final hours before the match, with the Inter coach retaining an alternative plan to ensure stability in the backline during the derby.
