Dopo la frattura al malleolo rimediata a febbraio, lo svedese si è rivisto al Filadelfia: punta a tornare prima della fine del campionato
Torino is preparing for the last two league games, which will see Vanoli’s team face Lecce and Roma, for two matches that are worth a lot (to the opponents). After the negative news of the last few weeks – from results on the field to injuries – a good one has finally arrived in the granata’s house: Alieu Njie, in fact, has returned to training at the Filadelfia 3 and a half months after the very bad malleolus injury he suffered. The Swede has been working on the side, and thus begins his own path of recovery on the pitch so as to arrive totally ready for the starting ribbons of next season.
Rientro importante
More than 100 days of agony for the youngster born in 2005, who had gotten injured just when Vanoli had begun to give him more confidence. Gradually, in fact, the Swede was carving out his own space, especially entering the game in progress and also managing to make an impact, as happened on the occasion of the match won against Como thanks to one of his goals. A player in some ways unique in terms of his characteristics, given his propensity for dribbling and quickness of movement, which the coach missed a lot especially in games where the goal was to come back from a disadvantage. No regrets or glances at the past, however: the important thing is that he is doing well and preparing as best he can for next season.
Acquisto in più
Yes, also because next summer he can be considered as a real extra purchase. If until now Njie was regarded as a young prospect, in the meantime the injury has helped him mature mentally as well, and at the dawn of his 20s he can already make a difference. Of peers already doing great things there are some, so why not expect great things from him as well without waiting for more time?
