Ex Lazio Veteran To Be Fit For Inter Milan Vs Atalanta Serie A Clash | OneFootball

Inter Milan defender Stefan de Vrij will make a return to full fitness in time for the Nerazzurri’s Serie A match against Atalanta.

This according to Italian news outlet FCInterNews. They report that the Dutchman will make a full return to training tomorrow after recovering from a thigh strain.

De Vrij has missed Inter’s first couple of matches of the season.

The 32-year-old has been on the sidelines with a thigh strain.

De Vrij picked up the injury during a friendly match against Al-Ittihad. That was the only friendly match that he had appeared in during the preseason period.

De Vrij had been part of the Netherlands squad that reached the semifinal stage of EURO 2024. He was a regular in the Oranje starting eleven along with Inter teammate Denzel Dumfries.

Stefan De Vrij To Be Fit For Inter Vs Atalanta Serie A Clash

De Vrij is one of a few Inter players to have picked up muscle injuries during the preseason period.

This was perhaps not a surprise considering the truncated training camp, with the majority of the squad returning late after participation at the Euros and the Copa America.

De Vrij and Dumfries were two of the latest returnees.

The former Lazio and Feyenoord defender did not rush back to the pitch. He has patiently recovered from his injury, missing matches against Genoa and Lecce.

But de Vrij has long been targeting Inter’s match against Atalanta on Friday to make his return.

According to FCIN, the Dutch international participated in most of today’s training session.

De Vrij was just about fit enough to work with the rest of the squad in training.

However, FCIN report, de Vrij sat out the last part of the session.

Tomorrow, though, the 32-year-old should be able to complete a full session.

Therefore, de Vrij will definitely be fit enough to be in the squad for Friday’s match against Atalanta.
