Italian international Alessandro Michieletto will most likely not appear on the court again until the end of the season. This was confirmed by Itas Trentino General Manager Bruno Da Re in the TV showAfter Hours, quoted byvolleyball.it.
According to the club manager, the receiver's injury is still not fully recovered, which practically means the end of his competitive year.
"The fracture has not healed yet, and that's why I think the season for him can be considered over," explained Da Re, providing clarity on the physical condition of the volleyball player.
The club emphasized that Michieletto feels well outside of sports activity.
"He walks, has no pain, and performs all his daily activities, except for playing volleyball," added the general manager of Trentino.
The news comes at an extremely important moment in the season for Itas Trentino, who are battling Cucine Lube Civitanova in the quarter-final series of the Italian SuperLega.
In the first match, played on Sunday in Trento, Lube achieved a valuable away victory with a score of 3:1 and took a 1:0 lead in the series.
Michieletto's absence further complicates Trentino's task, as he is one of the key elements in the team's reception and attack. His absence limits the coaching staff's options precisely at a time when every set in the series against Lube could prove decisive.
The next match between the two teams will be crucial for the development of the quarter-final clash, which is played to three victories. Lube already has a psychological advantage after their away success in Trento.
