Parma confirmed on 23 September 2026 that Dominik Drobnič had undergone successful surgery for a scaphoid fracture in his left wrist. The club’s bulletin described continuing rehabilitation. Football Italia’s report that day anticipated a return to selection for the trip to Inter after the international break.
Parma’s official match sheet for Inter on 10 October lists Drobnic among the substitutes. It does not record him entering the game. The later document therefore resolves the original selection question while leaving his return to actual playing minutes as a distinct milestone.
Almost Signed analysis: the forecast concerned being available for selection, not necessarily playing. The match sheet supports that limited forecast because Drobnic was on the bench, but would not support an assertion that he had already resumed competitive minutes. Separating those endpoints avoids turning a successful operation into an immediate playing comeback.
Corrections
- Source check, 13 October 2026: The source is a Parma defender injury update after playing Genoa. The generation brief instead puts Drobnic in Genoa colours as a speculative transfer destination.
