Stefan de Vrij injured in Inter Milan final match

Stefan de Vrij was forced off during Internazionale’s final match with an apparent groin injury. The 34-year-old defender, a regular in the Netherlands national team setup, exited the field prematurely.

De Vrij’s departure adds to concerns ahead of the upcoming World Cup squad announcement. The Oranje defender has featured consistently in manager Ronald Koeman’s selection plans.

The injury occurred during the closing stages of the fixture, with Inter Milan already leading. Medical staff attended immediately after he signaled discomfort.

Club doctors are assessing the severity of the issue. A final decision on his World Cup participation will follow further evaluation.

De Vrij joined Internazionale in 2018 from Lazio. He has since made over 150 appearances for the Serie A club. His leadership at the back remains crucial for both club and country.

The Netherlands face a congested schedule before the World Cup, with European Qualifiers still to be completed. His availability is now under review.

No timeline has been provided for his recovery. Further updates will depend on medical assessments in the coming days.

Inter Milan secured the victory in the match where De Vrij was withdrawn. The result does not directly impact his national team prospects but raises immediate fitness concerns.

His potential absence would force Koeman to consider alternative defensive options during the World Cup preparations.
