While the news regarding Kulusevski is overwhelmingly positive, the North London side has been hit by a significant blow involving summer signing Savio. The Brazilian winger, who has shown flashes of brilliance since his arrival, is set for a spell in the treatment room after picking up a muscular injury during the mid-season break. The timing is particularly frustrating for De Zerbi, who had hoped to have a full complement of attacking players available.
The injury occurred just as the squad was preparing for their training camp in Marbella, leaving the coaching staff to rethink their tactical approach for the upcoming weeks. “No Savio, unfortunately Savio on Tuesday before leaving for Marbella felt a muscular problem and we have lost him for some weeks,” De Zerbi stated.
