Inter Milan is seriously evaluating the possibility of Dutch full-back Denzel Dumfries undergoing surgery, following the worsening of the muscular issue the player has been suffering from recently.

This move comes after recent medical examinations showed that the condition has not improved as expected, prompting the club's medical staff to reconsider the available treatment options.

Inter fears that the injury might affect the player's readiness in the coming months, especially with the pressure of domestic and European matches, as Dumfries is a key element in coach Simone Inzaghi's system both defensively and offensively. The team heavily relies on his speed and ability to break through from the flanks.

According to sources within the club, the final decision has not yet been made, as the effectiveness of surgical intervention is being studied in comparison to conservative treatment plans.

The medical staff prefers to verify all details before taking a step that could sideline the player for a considerable period.

It is expected that Dumfries' situation will be resolved within the next few days, with close monitoring of the results of new tests.

The anticipated decision will directly impact Inter's plans in the winter transfer market, should the player's long-term absence be confirmed.
