The match against Pineto will see two great returns to Bassano: the one of the former player Shittu, who will come as a opponent, and the one of the number 10 of the team, Daniele Desiderio. For the first time after his injury in October he will be sitting on the bench and be officially at coach’s disposal. The time he needs for full recover are still long, he’s expected to be fit for the end of the regular season, but what matters is that one of the biggest steps in that direction has already be done, and that on Sunday he has the chance to be there.
How will it be to wear the number ten again, after five months?
“Wonderful, I’m almost excited. I didn’t think I could have recovered so fast -he says- but this is just a going-back-on-the-bench. Going back playing will take more time. But it is already very important for me, it gives me the determination to go on training to be part of the team again as soon as possible. I’m working very hard, with the team and with the physiotherapist, and I’m able already to bounce with the team. My target is to be back on court in April, averything is going fine and even better than expected. I’m doing my best, then come what may…”.
The news from the infirmery tell about a fit Savo, who, despite the light knee distorsion occurred on Sunday, should be today already training.
