Alejandro Gómez he can’t wait to get back on the pitch. El Papu, disqualified for two years due to a positive doping test, is training with Club Deportivo Manchego, a team that plays in the fifth category of Spanish football, the Tercera Federación.
“I can’t wait for the suspension to end,” said the former Catania and Atalanta player, world champion in 2022 with Argentina. “This is my life. Sharing a locker room again, training with a group again. Not long now, let’s hope that next season I’ll be able to get back on the pitch. It will definitely be in Italy or Spain, I don’t think much will change. I can play for a few more years.”
Gomez has not officially played since 8 October 2023, a match won 3-0 by Monza against Salernitana. A few days later his positive result was announced.
