Inter will visit Salzburg on Wednesday, and the question is whether Dumfries will be part of the team. The Dutchman is dealing with fatigue and did not participate in Tuesday's training session with the Italian top club. If the match against Salzburg comes too soon for Dumfries, then coach Simone Inzaghi will likely choose Matteo Darmian as his replacement.

This was not originally planned because, due to the injury of Benjamin Pavard, Inzaghi actually needs the Italian veteran in the center of defense. This is likely to open up a spot for Yann Bisseck, marking his probable starting debut.

The developments regarding Dumfries are surely being closely monitored by Ronald Koeman. With Matthijs de Ligt and Micky van de Ven, the coach of the Dutch national team already seems to be missing two defenders during the upcoming international break. According to Italian media, Dumfries is dealing with 'only' fatigue.
