The first coach of Torino midfielder Alexei Miranchuk Alexander Voronkov spoke about the injury of the Russian football player.

Miranchuk suffered a hamstring injury in his right thigh in the first half of the Serie A match against Monza (2:1) and was substituted at half-time. It was his first game for the Turin team, where he moved in the summer transfer window on loan from Atalanta. Later it became known that the recovery of the player will take about a month.

– Of course, it is very disappointing and unexpected that Lesha left for such a period. It’s always frustrating when a good player gets injured. Especially if it takes a long time to recover. Initially, it seemed that he had minor muscle damage, they talked about 15 days of recovery, and in the end – a month and a half. So, everything is much more serious. Or Torino doctors approach rehabilitation in such a way that there is no risk of re-injury.

Will this injury affect his future at Torino? No one knows. But Lesha is an experienced football player, a professional. He knows how to recover properly and takes the matter seriously. The most important thing is the position of the head coach of Torino and how Aleksey will show himself. In Italy, some experts are wary of a player after rehabilitation. And Yurich (Torino coach) may have a different attitude and immediately send Lesha into battle. Let’s see. I hope that everything will be fine and that Lesha will return even stronger. I wish him a speedy recovery and show himself after his return from the best side. If Miranchuk plays and scores like in the first round, then he will definitely gain a foothold in the main team of Torino, ”RB Sport” quotes Voronkov as saying.

After two rounds of Serie A, Torino scored 4 points.
