This is the first time that the England international has trained outside since .
The 26-year-old was given an extended break after his run to the World Cup semi-final with England over the summer, and according to reports from , he also came back with a minor physical issue that forced him to miss the final stages of pre-season.

Spence could have potentially trained three times by the time that Inter’s next match comes around, on Monday night at home against Udinese in Serie A, but according to reports from , .
In fact, SportMediaset suggests that Inter’s first match after the international break, at home against Parma on October 10, is the date that has been pencilled in for Spence’s debut.
Cristian Chivu has found success in Spence’s right wing-back position in the form of converted central midfielder Andy Diouf, who has started in three of Inter’s four competitive matches in the early stages of the 2026-27 season. Luis Henrique started against Cagliari and is also still available for selection.
