Inter Milan midfielder Davide Frattesi can return to training some time in mid-August.

This according to today’s print edition of Milan-based newspaper Gazzetta dello Sport, via FCInterNews. They report that the 25-year-old successfully underwent abdominal surgery, but will take a few weeks to recover.

Inter Milan midfielder Davide Frattesi has been dealing with a persistent abdominal problem.

The former Sassuolo midfielder suffered the issue during Inter’s Champions League semifinal tie against Barcelona.

Specifically, Frattesi suffered an inguinal hernia. This plagued him through the last few weeks of the season.

Furthermore, the Italian international was unable to feature at the Club World Cup. He returned early from the United States.

Davide Frattesi underwent surgery to correct the inguinal hernia yesterday.

And the procedure was a complete success. Therefore, that’s certainly good news in view of next season, as Frattesi will hardly want to start the season with a nagging injury to manage.

There is not any rush for the 25-year-old to return to training. But he’ll be aiming a return to fitness and form by the start of the upcoming campaign.

In view of this, the Gazzetta report, Frattesi should be back in full training in mid-August.

Therefore, the Italian international will not be part of the team’s return to preseason training towards the end of this month.

However, Frattesi should be able to make himself available for the start of the Serie A season. Inter take on Torino in their first match of the campaign on August 25th.
