Report – Italy Star Won’t Be Rushed Back In Time For Inter Milan Serie A Opener

Frattesi's Road Back: Italy Star Won't Rush For Serie A Opener

Midfielder set for late August return following hernia surgery.

Inter Milan midfielder Davide Frattesi will not be ready for the club's Serie A opener against Torino next month, according to Gazzetta dello Sport. The 25-year-old underwent surgery earlier this month to correct a persistent inguinal hernia that hampered him throughout the final weeks of last season and prevented his participation in the Club World Cup.

While Frattesi is recovering well from the procedure, he remains absent from preseason training and needs more time before returning to action.

A Measured Return for Italy International

Frattesi's recovery timeline places him likely available for Inter's second or third Serie A match of the season, rather than the opening fixture. Inter Milan are prioritizing a full and healthy return for their midfielder over rushing him back prematurely.

This cautious approach reflects the club's commitment to ensuring Frattesi is fully recovered and ready to contribute at his best when he rejoins his teammates on the pitch.
