The latest Davide Frattesi injury update has confirmed that the Inter star is set to undergo abdominal surgery in the coming days.
Frattesi is yet to feature under new head coach Cristian Chivu. The Romanian boss included the midfielder in his Club World Cup roster but the Azzurri international was sent home to address the problem.
Now, Gazzetta dello Sport has confirmed that the 25-year-old will go under the knife. It’s expected that Frattesi will be operated on in Milan this week to correct a niggling hernia issue.
Davide Frattesi Injury Update
The Davide Frattesi injury update is not serious and will only require a recovery period of 20-30 days. That means he should return to full training in early August.
With the season opener against Torino a few weeks later, the midfield ace is expected to be fit and raring to go as the Nerazzurri begin their 2025-26 Serie A campaign.
It’s understood that Frattesi was playing through the pain barrier from as far back as April. The player himself wanted to wait until the conclusion of the 2024-25 season to fix the injury.
During that time, it appeared that Frattesi was seeking to leave Inter if Simone Inzaghi stayed. Therefore, meaning supporters would have already seen him don the famous black and blue colors for the last time.
Will Davide Frattesi Sign A New Inter Contract?
After the 5-0 mauling by PSG in Europe’s elite club competition finale, questions arose around Frattesi’s long-term future. However, any fears were slowly eradicated when Simone Inzaghi moved to Al-Hilal.
It seemed certain Frattesi would leave if Inzaghi remained. Now, Italian sports reporter Matteo Moretto has said that Inter is ready to offer the 25-year-old new terms.
That’s because Cristian Chivu wants to give Frattesi a more prominent role in 2025-26. The Romanian boss views Frattesi as a valuable member of his roster and would assure him of more game time than Inzaghi.
Napoli and Atletico Madrid had shown a keen interest in the Italy international this summer. However, Frattesi could now extend his stay at the San Siro.
