Djed Spence begins training as Inter manager delays potential debut date

Internazionale defender Djed Spence completed his first outdoor training session with the club on Thursday. The 26-year-old arrived this summer from Tottenham Hotspur for a reported €35 million transfer fee but had been sidelined with a minor physical issue. He also received an extended break following his participation in the World Cup semi-finals with England. While he is back on the pitch, club management appears hesitant to accelerate his return to match fitness. Reports suggest that Inter is targeting an October 10 home match against Parma for his debut. Currently, Cristian Chivu has favored Andy Diouf and Luis Henrique at the right wing-back position during the opening matches of the season.
