Valentino Lazaro's injury not as bad as first feared

Valentino Lazaro is confident he will be back 'much faster' than initially expected.
Borussia Mönchengladbach newcomer Valentino Lazaro says his injury isn't bad as first feared.

When Lazaro sustained a muscle injury at the end of August, it was initially suggested that he could be sidelined for up to eight weeks, but the 24-year-old is certain he won't be out for that long.

"I feel very well again," Lazaro said in an interview with Sportbuzzer and added:

"The initial diagnosis was that I would be out for six to eight weeks, but I am confident I will be back on the pitch much faster. I shouldn't be in danger of missing the start of the Champions League."

Lazaro has joined Gladbach on loan from Inter for the 2020/21 season.
