A surprise comeback in sight? Midfielder Leo Štulac leaves Palermo for short training in Spain despite serious hamstring injury
Slovenian footballer Leo Štulac received the worst possible news in January: a hamstring injury has prematurely ended his participation in the 2022/23 season. But less than three months after the injury, things started to turn around. So much so, that the player’s early return to the pitch is reportedly not out of the question. Leo Štulac is making excellent progress, as he and his teammates from
Palermo
will travel to Girona, Spain, for a short training period during the national break.
If his health had continued to be poor, coach Eugenio Corini would certainly not have taken him to Spain, according to local media, who see this move as a signal that Leo Štulac has not said his last words in the current season, no matter what.
They have until 1. April
As an interesting fact, in January Palermo removed the Slovenian midfielder from the list of players Corini can count on for Serie B matches. However, this does not mean that Leo Štulac would no longer be able to help his teammates if he were to recover in time. But the time to reapply is slowly running out, Palermo can do it no later than 1. April.
Leo Štulac, 28, moved to Sicily last summer and wears the pink jersey as a loan player for Empoli. The player, who has also previously played for Venezia and Parma in Italy, played 12 games this season before his injury, registering three assists.
