We are concerned about Yerry Mina’s injury. These are not new problems, but situations that have always existed
“Having so many players in the national teams is a source of pride for Fiorentina, but this also creates difficulties for us. We are concerned about Yerry Mina’s injury. These are not new problems, but rather situations that have always existed and that we must face and manage,” said the Italian team.
Mina had not been able to make her debut because her coach had asked for time for her physical adaptation. That’s why it was at Fiorentina where he was most surprised that he started both games.
The Italian press speculates that Yerry would be out of the field for at least two weeks: “Injury to the left rectus femoris with Colombia: the extent will be evaluated upon his return to Italy. “He won’t be back for two weeks,” Sky Sport said. If readaptation is added, Lorenzo’s calculation makes a lot of sense.
