AssaneDiao, Como's attacking winger, has finally responded to the silence that had surrounded him after the injury suffered in the Champions League against Feyenoord. In his post on social media he thanked the fans and anyone who had been close to him, explaining that his rehabilitation has already begun and that he hopes to return to the field as soon as possible.
The 18-year-old had already demonstrated his worth in that match when, in the 18th minute, he unlocked a personal move that gave Como the lead. A few minutes later, however, he suffered a muscle problem in his left thigh, forcing him to request a substitution in the 23rd. Subsequent investigations confirmed a first degree injury to the flexor, with an estimated recovery time of around twenty days.
In his message, Diao expressed gratitude for the messages of support he received and stressed that, despite the difficulty, he is determined to overcome this obstacle. "It's not easy after everything that happened, but the rehabilitation has already started to return as soon as possible. See you soon!", he wrote, showing the desire to leave the new stop behind and focus on recovery.
Como, which finds itself in a delicate position in the Serie B standings, is counting on Diao's return to strengthen its offensive line. The team, who had a mixed performance in the Champions League, hope that the youngster can return to form and contribute to future results. The coach has already confirmed that the player is recovering and that he will be evaluated for the next match, once his rehabilitation has been completed.
With his ongoing rehabilitation, Diao remains a point of reference for the team and the fans. Como will continue to monitor his evolution and communicate any updates on his health, with the aim of returning him to the field as soon as possible.
