Dumfries has not yet featured at the Club World Cup while he continued his injury rehabilitation, but according to Monday’s reports from Sky Sport Italia, the Dutchman has been involved in training with the rest of the first-team group and is now in contention to feature against River Plate.

Matteo Darmian started the first game against CF Monterrey in Dumfries’s absence, while summer signing Luis Henrique was given his full Nerazzurri debut at right wing-back for the 2-1 win against Urawa Red Diamonds over the weekend.

According to Sky, those concerns are now over, and he is also in contention to start in his usual spot at left-wing back on Thursday.

Marcus Thuram and Davide Frattesi’s conditions are also improving according to Sky. Both are pushing to be involved against River Plate, but there are no guarantees either way as things stand.
