“It’s not ready yet”. While at the Nerazzurri there was a foretaste of the return to full capacity of Stefano Sensi, Antonio Conte thus crushed the enthusiasm in the pre-Bologna press conference. The former Sassuolo, who in recent weeks has tasted the flavor of the pitch again – even if only for a few minutes – against Real Madrid in the Champions League and against his former team in the league, is not ready to tread the lawn of San Siro tonight against Bologna. Bad news for Conte, who won’t have the injured player available in the median Matias Neighbor and bruised Radja Nainggolan, in addition to a Nicolò Barella squeezed properly and that this round could be spared in view of Shakhtar Donetsk, thanks to a calf not in perfect condition.
After the start of the Nerazzurri adventure with the turbo – topped off with three goals, four assists and great plays in the first six days of the 2019/20 season -, Sensi slowly got lost in the endless tunnel of injuries and relapses who often and willingly forced him to watch his teammates from the San Siro grandstand or from the sofa at home. The first Inter stop arrives on 7 October 2020 for a adductor injury which keeps him in the pits for a month, which then became two following the relapse suffered on 10 November. Then, in mid-December, the return to the field before calf problem accused on January 27. At the beginning of February there is room for a new return, but followed by yet another foot injury (and we are at 13 February). Then Covid-19 also invests Italy, Serie A crashes and the lockdown arrives: on returning to the field after long weeks of individual work, Sensi plays just 2 minutes in the return of the Coppa Italia semi-final against Napoli and then freezes again for a hamstring problem, reported on June 19.
Then we arrive at the 2020/21 season, with mister Conte who after theyet another physical ailment (October 24) on the eve of the match against Shkhatar Donetsk (October 26) declared a Sky that for Sensi “it becomes difficult to give time because the last exams gave positive results and that he didn’t have anything particularly, but the boy felt a little something and other checks will be made “which are made official a few hours after the words of the Salento coach with an official note from the Nerazzurri club:” Stefano Sensi underwent an MRI scan today at the Humanitas Institute of Rozzano The investigations revealed a muscle strain in the left thigh. The conditions of the midfielder will be re-evaluated in the coming days. ” And the nightmare continues.
Slowly Sensi returns to training in groups, sending (apparently) reassuring signals also on social networks: “It was not an easy time. A series of injuries slowed my career path. My life – wrote on Instagram last November 17 -. Not being able to do what I love with serenity took away my smile. I am a responsible person, always when I fall I do everything to get up and come back stronger. It pisses me off not being able to make my contribution, not having been able to give my best to the club, to the staff, to our fans who have always shown respect for me. I’m working at my best every day, trying my best, without pauses or excuses. It’s time to leave behind bad luck, physical problems, obstacles that forced me to brake. See you soon and always come to Inter ”. Precisely that Inter who has decided to focus on him also for the future and who now hopes to see him again shortly on the pitch at 100%, with golden feet to showcase and crystal muscles to leave in the drawer of memories. To avoid possible feelings of guilt.
