Mannion already recovered 6kg and is doing individual work

After a strong intestinal infection, which also involved him during the Tokyo Olympics, Niccolo Mannion has been treated by the best specialists in Bologna and now that he is cured he will only have to recover weight to get back in perfect shape and avoid possible injuries. Mannion is already doing individual work and has promptly recovered 6kg.

Paolo Ronci, Virtus Bologna’s General Manager, also made the following statement to journalists yesterday before the friendly match with Pesaro: “He’s on the road to recovery, and in accordance with the athletic trainer’s tables he has gained some kilos. He’s a high level player who has to recover with high level players: if he did a desk job he could do it starting tomorrow, but in his case it’s right that he has to do a physical and athletic path to get to the best. He is a twenty year old who had a problem, treated with great attention by the doctors we are lucky to have in Bologna, and that’s it. From the way he responded, he could even anticipate the recovery time.”
