Cooper about Danilo’s health
Cooper acknowledged at his pre-game news conference yesterday th
at Danilo has returned to training but won’t be playing this weekend.
“Danilo has returned to training; he’s not quite at full capacity yet, but he’s definitely not far off.
Is Danilo able to continue where he left off?
Danilo’s injury against Chelsea under Mauricio Pochettino happened at a very bad moment, as the 22-year-old “talented” player was beginning to show signs of his previous season’s form.
Towards the close of the previous season, the midfield player went on an incredible run, scoring in three straight Premier League games.
When he rejoins the first team, he could have trouble unseating any of the current midfield trio.
Orel Mangala, Nicolas Dominguez, and Ibrahim Sangare have all been playing excellently, and Danilo will have a difficult time regaining his starting spot.
