Daniele Lavia is getting closer and closer to a full return to the Itas Trentino squad. As reported byvolleyball.it, the outside hitter is training with the group again alongside Alessandro Michieletto and is gradually getting back into game rhythm after his long absence.

Return after difficult months

Lavia went through a complex period, having been sidelined since the summer due to a hand injury, undergoing two surgical interventions. After months of recovery and individual work, he is now taking a significant step forward – his inclusion in full team training sessions.

Mendez remains cautious

Head coach Marcelo Mendez emphasizes that the club will approach the return of the two national team players carefully:

"Above all, their health is important."

Lavia is still undergoing tests and monitoring, especially in net situations and blocking – a key element of his game.

The psychological aspect

Mendez also pays attention to the psychological side after a serious injury:

"Overcoming fear is the first and most important step."

According to the specialist, confidence and a sense of security are crucial for the player's full return.

Gradual inclusion in attack

During recent training sessions, Lavia has already participated in offensive drills – pipe attacks and offensive combinations. This suggests that he might get playing minutes in upcoming matches, even if in parts.

Health remains a priority

The news for Trento is positive because Lavia's return provides more options at a crucial point in the season. However, the final decision will be dictated by a fundamental rule, also reiterated by Mendez:

"Health above all."
