“We have good news: Domenico Berardi has recovered”. The long-awaited announcement has finally arrived and it was Fabio Grosso who gave the happy news in the conference. Sassuolo finds his champion again, ready to return to the black and green squad called up for the match against Citadel. And it’s an early Christmas for the people of Sassuolo who will celebrate Mimmo’s arrival on October 5th. The number 10 will not start from the start but in the second half there could be room for his definitive return 7 months after that cursed March 3rd, the day of Hellas Verona-Sassuolo which ended 1-0 with Matheus Henrique’s error and the injury of the Berardi’s Achilles tendon. It was Davide Ballardini’s first in black and green.
Grosso finds Berardi again
“Delighted to find him again (Domenico, ed.). He put in a lot of effort and determination to recover. On a physical level he needs time to regain his condition but he has great charisma and personality, we are happy to find him in the team group. We have injured people only Lovato. We have a large group and choices will be required, I’ll take today to make the decisions but Berardi will be part of the group” added Fabio Grosso in the press conference on the eve.
Berardi’s return, good news for the national team
Last March 3, the bad knockout with the injury to the Achilles tendon, the renunciation of the European Championship with the Nationalrehabilitation, Serie B with Sassuolo with the renunciation of the transfer market because the injury was an obstacle and no offers arrived. At 7 months old, however, Mimmo and Sassuolo are ready to move on. There is great anticipation to see the number 10 shirt back on the pitch in the black and green colours. Six months for full recovery, then the last month to ‘finish up’. Times practically respected for Domenico who has been champing at the bit for a while and today against Citta he could get his first minutes of the season under his belt, thus savoring old sensations again, and then take advantage of the break to further define and improve his condition, evaluate any ailments and present himself at his best in the big match against Brescia. Berardi is back, good news for Spalletti’s national team too!
