One of Gasperini’s certainties is Bryan Cristante, a central pillar of midfield, destined to play a quiet leadership role.
While awaiting Koné’s return, the Italian midfielder will be tasked with dictating the pace and ensuring balance in a crucial match against Napoli.
Meanwhile, the Frenchman is accelerating his recovery, with the injury now behind him and his recovery journey in the most delicate phase.
However, the medical staff has decided not to rush the pace, avoiding any risks ahead of a very intense second half of the season.
Koné’s return to the pitch, writes Il Corriere dello Sport, will not take place against Napoli, but the goal is to gradually bring him back, with the hope of seeing him back training with the group as early as next week.
The goal is clear: the Les Bleus midfielder’s dream is to be called up for the match against Cremonese at the Olimpico.
But the biggest goal remains another: a full return to the pitch against Juventus, on March 1st at 8:45 PM at the Stadio Olimpico, a date marked in red on the calendar of the French midfielder, formerly of Borussia Monchengladbach.
