The print today on newsstands takes stock of the conditions of Nikola Vlasic: the midfielder was forced off the pitch against Bologna in the first half due to a muscle strain in his groin. The results of the ultrasound that he will carry out today are missing, while his teammates resume training at Philadelphia in view of the penultimate away match of the year (to Verona).
But it was enough to see him on May 4th as he got off the bus to reach the Basilica. He confessed his condition to a fan: “I think I pulled my adductor.” This would mean the season is over: the bitter summary of the journey of a footballer who this year was probably the most awaited and therefore for this reason turned out to be among the strongest disappointments.
In fact, the balance is negative for Vlasic, who has never managed to rediscover the sparks of last championship, nor to make himself feel indispensable except in rare moments. Three goals and 2 assists is the meager personal haul that also helps to explain Torino’s big problem in front of goal. Few achievements but also little contribution in the decisive phase. Last year the Croatian was the wild card, this year he has never found the right condition, underlines today’s edition of the Turin newspaper.
