Rome, Strootman sees the light: in the group after 7 months. Maicon … – The Republic

ROME – The first step towards the return. A distance of 210 days after surgery to reconstruct the anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee, Kevin Strootman back on the field. Only a jog with his teammates to regain confidence with the group that had abandoned now over 7 months ago. But certainly a further step in the path towards complete rehabilitation, someone who wished to be able to complete by mid-September. Not Kevin, who has always been clear about it: “I will not be in a hurry.”

because now manmca little to the recovery of a real preparation: within a couple of weeks, the Dutch midfielder will return to play throughout the workout along with other companions, then starting the path that ripoterà in the field with the jersey of Rome. Garcia has set a deadline: “I hope to have him in the game against Manchester City at the Olimpico.” Appointment for December 10 then the last day of the group stage of the Champions League. Although the return will be gradual, and perhaps already at the end of November, will try to send him on the field, obviously, if conditions allow. And do not worry if the return will come so far, almost nine months after the accident on April 9, at the San Paolo in Naples, but Strootman has chosen to follow the protocol of the Dutch recovery, returning less hurried, almost two months later than the Italian Customs. The Dutch physician who has worked Heijboer sees it this way: “Needless to force the issue: after the breakup of a crusader you have to heal psychologically.”

For this Kevin worked 7 hours a day with the Dutch physiotherapist Massier and preparatory Chinnici and Ferrelli. And at work are also its new agents, I decided to ratify the agreement with the midfielder a new contract. Possibly the Roma, despite the pressure of Manchester United. The agents of Enterteinment Sports Group, who represent him in August and also run van Persie, they have already met in Trigoria ds Sabatini: to present and discuss the costs for physiotherapy pending. Will be back soon to discuss a contractual adjustment, of course, after the return to the field. Strootman receives 1.7 million per season, the United guarantee him at least twice. Pallotta not want to hear about the sale, though: “I do not give in even to 75 million pounds.” It will then sit down to agree.

Agreement which has instead reached Maicon. The Brazilian, who had an expiring contract next June, has signed a Trigoria a renewal for another season, with an option until 2016 and contractual adjustment. The signing was in the air, but few had guessed that the parties were ready. A kick to the suspects, with the handshake Roma: “I am proud to wear this shirt for a long time. E ‘a great honor, now it’s up to me”
