Report – Italy Star Won't Be Rushed Back In Time For Inter Milan Serie A Opener
This according to today's print edition of Milan-based newspaper Gazzetta dello Sport, via FCInterNews. They anticipate that the 25-year-old will be back at the end of August.
Inter Milan midfielder Davide Frattesi has been dealing with a persistent abdominal problem.
The former Sassuolo midfielder suffered the issue during Inter's Champions League semifinal tie against Barcelona.
Specifically, Frattesi suffered an inguinal hernia. This plagued him through the last few weeks of the season.
Furthermore, the Italian international was unable to feature at the Club World Cup. He returned early from the United States.
Therefore, in the end, Frattesi underwent surgery to correct the issue earlier this month.

Frattesi is still recovering from his surgery. Therefore, the Italian international is not part of preseason training.
And it will still be a few more weeks before Frattesi can return to the pitch.
That has cast doubt on whether the 25-year-old can be available for Inter's first match of the Serie A season, against Torino next month.
According to the Gazzetta dello Sport, the feeling is that this would simply be too soon.
Inter are hardly going to rush Frattesi back to the pitch. The priority is for the former Sassuolo midfielder to fully heal from his injury and be fresh and ready to go.
Therefore, Frattesi should instead be back for Inter's second or third match of the new season.

Ferrari renews team principal Fred Vasseur's contract despite a difficult F1 season
BUDAPEST, Hungary (AP) — Ferrari handed team principal Fred Vasseur a new contract on Thursday in a sign of 'trust in Fred's leadership' following speculation about his future, with the Italian team yet to win a Formula 1 race in 2025. In an announcement ahead of the Hungarian Grand Prix, Ferrari said the new deal was a 'multiple-year contract,' without giving further details. Lewis Hamilton gave Vasseur his backing last month after reports in Italian media suggested his job could be in question. Ferrari last won a race in October and neither Hamilton nor Charles Leclerc has consistently been able to challenge the leading McLaren drivers. 'Today we want to recognize what has been built and commit to what still needs to be achieved,' Ferrari chief executive Benedetto Vigna said in a statement. 'It reflects our trust in Fred's leadership — a trust rooted in shared ambition, mutual expectations and clear responsibility. We move forward with determination and focus, united in our pursuit of the level of performance Ferrari has to aim for.' Vasseur joined Ferrari as team principal at the start of 2023. He was Hamilton's team boss in junior series in the mid-2000s and played a role in convincing the seven-time champion to leave Mercedes for Ferrari for 2025 in a move which shook up F1. Vasseur also previously worked with Renault and Sauber in F1. Hamilton, who hasn't finished on the podium in a Grand Prix race since joining the Italian team, has been holding meetings with senior executives to push for improvements and a voice in developing the team's car for 2026. ___ AP auto racing:

💣 Dovbyk offered to AC Milan 😱 What's next for Jashari
Artem Dovbyk could stay in Serie A, but change shirts. The Roma striker has been offered by his agents to Milan, who are looking for a striker. Matteo Moretto has the exclusive, and also highlights how the Rossoneri's number one target remains Dusan Vlahović. If the Serbian from Juventus has many advantages, first and foremost the fact that he would arrive on a free transfer, if not at zero cost, for Dovbyk the Diavolo would have to make a significant outlay, of at least 40 million. It's hard to call these figures an opportunity, but the trail should still be considered. 📉 Full-backs, Doué is too expensive As for the full-back, Guela Doué's valuation has dropped to 30 million euros, which is too much for Strasbourg. Milan won't make an investment of that kind in that area of the field, because they don't think it's necessary, but - above all - because what will be saved will then be reinvested in the striker and Jashari. DS Tare hasn't given up yet... 🤔 Jashari, new episode coming? It's no secret, the Club Brugge midfielder is the Rossoneri's summer target, but the continuous rejections from the Belgians have turned the negotiation into a soap opera. Today the deal is on hold, but it's not excluded that Casa Milan will decide to raise the offer. The player's 'yes' has been clear for some time, now it's a matter of convincing the Belgians to let their midfielder go. If the negotiation were to fail completely, Tare could also decide not to look for a plan B and stick with the current squad in that area of the field, allocating the "Jashari package" elsewhere. Maybe even to the striker. This article was translated into English by Artificial Intelligence. You can read the original version in 🇮🇹 here. 📸 Francesco Pecoraro - 2025 Getty Images
