Breaking News: After an injury, a key member of AC Milan is delighted to be back in “the strong and focused” Milan squad.
After a lengthy injury, Tommaso Pobega is back in the matchday squad, and he emphasized how crucial it is for AC Milan to finish the season as high as possible.
Pobega was hurt in December during the 3-0 victory over Monza at San Siro. He was playing on the left of a three-man defense when he went down with what appeared to be a painful hip injury less than half an hour into the game.
After a scan revealed that he had injured his left rectus femoris tendon, the club declared that he had had surgery, which was performed by a specialist in Finland.
It was estimated at the time that the Milan Academy product would require four months to recover due to the nature of the problem and the length of the rehabilitation necessary, but he is now back.
Prior to tonight’s match at San Siro, Pobega made some remarks on Milan TV, which MilanNews then cited.
What state are you in?
I feel great both physically and mentally, and I was eager to get back to practicing and playing for the team. I am really glad to be back. I am well and happy, so it is a big step for me.”
How crucial is it to have a strong season finale?
Our team has always been tenacious and dedicated, even though it is normal to go through ups and downs during a season. Our aim is to demonstrate our strength by winning these final games.”
What kind of vibe do you anticipate at San Siro today, DAZN inquired?
“It could be strange; we have to do what we know how to do, be able to play, and also be able to drag them along by putting our best characteristics on the field so as to bring the fans to our side, as they have always done.”
