After gaining approval from the doctors, Zachary finally returned to the Vinovo to recommence his training early morning on Tuesday, June 2nd. His teammates welcomed him with warmth and enthusiasm when he stepped on the training ground, making him feel like he had never been absent. He responded with warm words before heading to the sidelines where the coaches were standing.
"Zachary!" Coach Max Allegri called out to him. "Welcome back. I hope you're now fully recovered."
"Thanks, coach," Zachary replied in fluent Italian. "Of course, I'm back to full fitness already. How's your morning, by the way?"
"My morning is great, especially since you've returned to the training ground," the coach said with a chuckle. "We can now begin serious preparations for the Champions League final. I hope you already went through the calf strengthening exercises while healing."
