Netherlands Wingback Recovers As Inter Milan Boss Prepares To Field Strongest Line-Up Vs River Plate | OneFootball

Denzel Dumfries could make the starting line-up when Inter Milan and River Plate lock horns in a high-stakes game later tonight.

Per Gazzetta dello Sport via FCInterNews, Cristian Chivu will field his strongest eleven against the Argentine powerhouse.

With a place in the FIFA Club World Cup knockouts on the line, Inter cannot afford a slip-up in Seattle.

Indeed, River Plate and the Nerazzurri head into proceedings locked on four points at the top of Group E.

However, this-placed CF Monterrey lag only two points behind ahead of their clash against basement boys Urawa Reds.

Therefore, Cristian Chivu will rely on his heavy hitters to carry Inter through to the quarter-finals.

After missing the opening two matches against Monterrey and Urawa, Denzel Dumfries is back to full fitness.

As such, he will likely regain his place on the right wing at the expense of Matteo Darmian and Luis Henrique.

Meanwhile, Lautaro Martinez, who scored in both previous Group E outings, will lead the line.
