Lautaro Martinez returns to Appiano: signs of recovery before the break

The countdown has begun. Lautaro Martinez posted an hourglass with two black and blue dots on social media, a sign that the captain is getting closer to returning to the field after the stop on October 13. According to Corriere dello Sport, yesterday at Appiano it was the player himself who stole the show during the final training session before the departure for Rotterdam.

The Argentine came out of the locker room and reached the field where the rest of the team was training, greeting his teammates and hugging Chivu. The hourglass posted shortly after fueled the optimism of the fans, but the return will not happen before the match against Atalanta, scheduled after the break.

In the meantime, the recovery of Pavard gives Chivu one more option for the defense, already valuable in tonight’s match considering the suspension of Bastoni. Jones, Stones, and Luis Henrique are also continuing to work individually, but all on the field like Lautaro.

The two Englishmen are the closest to returning: according to Corriere dello Sport, they could start working with the group already in view of the match against Como.
