Injured Inter trio Denzel Dumfries, Marcus Thuram and Davide Frattesi could be available for selection by Cristian Chivu for the Nerazzurri’s final Club World Cup group stage match against River Plate.

According to SkySport journalist Matteo Barzaghi, via InterNews, “Inter could recover some players for the match against River Plate, particularly Dumfries, Thuram and Frattesi. I don’t expect them to start, but they could be available.”

Inter were without the key trio when they scraped a 2-1 win against Urawa Red Diamonds on Saturday evening, two late goals from Lautaro Martinez and Valentin Carboni making the difference after the resilient Japanese side held out against Nerazzurri domination for large periods of the game.

This means that Chivu’s side sit second in their group on goal difference, level on points with River Plate who drew with Monterrey in the early hours of Sunday morning.

Commenting further on the Nerazzurri performance, Barzaghi said “We saw a team that wasn’t particularly sharp, but the real takeaway is that Inter refuse to lose. They’ve come from behind in both Club World Cup matches, showing real determination not to give up.

“Cristian Chivu, it must be said, is in a tough spot — this is the club’s 61st game of the season, and he hasn’t had a training camp or time to implement his ideas. There are some tactical signs of change, but it’ll take time before we can truly judge.”

The Nerazurri head into the match against River Plate knowing that a victory is essential if they wish to continue their Club World Cup campaign – yet a draw or defeat could be enough if Monterrey fail to beat Urawa Red Diamonds in their final game.
