He will miss the next two races in Pavia due to a Caserio stretch: the team reacted, we are not returning to the market
PAVIA
The pivot Diego Corral, perhaps the only irreplaceable player of Riso Scotti, will remain out for three weeks, certainly skipping the next two games, next Sunday against Piombino and Saturday 16 October at 20.30 against the battleship Legnano. Corral in the last training last week in a contact under the basket caused the strain of the collateral ligament of his right knee.
“I do not deny that when I saw the scene and Diego’s expression of pain I was very worried – says the president Lele Caserio – It was a bolt from the blue that aroused great concern because we did not know the extent of the injury of one of our top players. The day after, our trusted traumatologist, Dr. Pavesi, visited him and issued a diagnosis that reassured us, as recovery times are relatively short ».
The company is not looking for replacements
Corral will have to keep a special knee brace that immobilizes the knee. «The recovery should be immediate – Caserio points out – after three weeks, Diego will be able to return immediately to work with his teammates. However, we are calmer after seeing the reaction of the team on the pitch against Varese: it has shown, although we already knew it, that our group has compacted in the face of difficulties, finding a way out. For all these reasons we will not go on the market ». Pavia took the first period to understand how to sink Varese, from the second onwards captain Torgano and his companions opened the gas and won the first two points of the championship. “It is only the first of the season and starting well was important – underlines the plat Alex Simoncelli, mvp of the victory over Robur et Fides – in the first quarter perhaps the fact of having to change the game also weighed, having lost Diego on the eve of the match with the people of Varese. We played the whole pre-season with an important reference like Corral, so we had to reshape quickly. Diego got injured on the eve of the race and so we didn’t have time to think about what to do, not even me, who have a great feeling with him. In any case, we found a way to overcome the obstacle, playing a good match ». –
