Mario Pasalic confirms he's still recovering from spinal injury
Midfielder Mario Pasalic has confirmed he is still recovering from the spinal disk injury that forced him to end his loan move to Monaco.
Earlier in April, we reported that Pasalic had confirmed his spinal disc moved a little and it forced him out of any Monaco games since Monaco drew against St.Etienne in February.
"I felt pain in my lower back and the recording showed that my spinal disc moved a little, but enough to irritate my nerve. After medical examinations I have done therapy and exercises in Monaco, and everything was alright up until I ran back on the field. The pain came back so I consulted with the doctors from Chelsea and they invited me to London. I’m here three weeks now. It’s getting better, I already work with 50-60% intensity and I hope I will be back on the field soon." revealed Mario in April.
Pasalic was seen back at Cobham on the field doing some individual work in May, but he had not return to pre-season training with the rest of those who were out on loan last season. He now confirms he's STILL recovering.
"I'm still in therapy after spinal disc injury. I'll see what will Conte and Emenalo say, what are their plans for me."
