Defender Francesco Acerbi should be back in full training for Inter Milan in the next few days.
This according to today’s print edition of Rome-based newspaper Corriere dello Sport, via FCInterNews.
Acerbi is one of the Inter players who has been part of the team’s preseason training camp from the very start.
The former Lazio and Sassuolo defender was not part of the Italy squad at the Euros.
The reason for Acerbi’s absence from the Azzurri team was that he had undergone groin surgery at the start of the summer. The 37-year-old went under the knife at the start of June.
This surgery was to correct a pulbagia problem that had started to emerge over the last few weeks of last season.
The recovery from surgery has also meant that Acerbi has not been part of the full group in the first week of Inter’s preseason training period.,
Francesco Acerbi To Return To Full Training For Inter Milan In Next Few Days
Over the first week and change of the preseason, Acerbi has been working on completing his recovery from surgery.
The 37-year-old has fully healed at this point.
However, there is still the matter of building up fitness.
At this point, Acerbi has done fitness work with the rest of the team. However, he has yet to take to the pitch to do tactical work or training with the ball.
There is naturally no rush to get the Italian international back on the pitch just yet.
The start of the Serie A season is still more than three weeks away at this point.
However, Acerbi should be able to make a full return to training over the next few days, reports the Corriere.
The 37-year-old should be available for friendly matches against Las Palmas or Pisa. He had missed the friendlies against Lugano and Pergolettese.
