Cristian Chivu had already flagged Dumfries’s return in his post-match press conference at the Via del Mare.
And, indeed, the Dutchman duly came through the session without issue, a timely development as Inter look to bolster their options for a match in which they must overturn a 3-1 deficit.
The midfielder worked alongside his teammates for part of the session, but his full involvement remains to be seen.
Chivu will be hopeful the Turkish international can at least make the bench on Tuesday, with his creativity and set-piece delivery potentially crucial in what promises to be a demanding and high-stakes evening at San Siro.
