Following their victory against Slavia Prague, AS Roma has wasted no time in preparing for their upcoming challenge against Inter Milan in Serie A this Sunday, valid for the 10th week of the Italian football championship.
During training sessions led by coach Jose Mourinho, one player's presence particularly caught the eye, of Albania's national team center-back, Marash Kumbulla. Kumbulla has been sidelined from competitive play since April 29th when he suffered a severe injury to his right knee ligament during a match against AC Milan.
The 23-year-old defender is now on the verge of making a full recovery after a challenging period, and it is expected that he will soon be at the disposal of the Portuguese coach, not just for Roma but also for the Albanian national team. He is anticipated to be included in the squad for the upcoming qualifiers against Moldova and the Faroe Islands under the guidance of head coach Sylvinho.
Marash Kumbulla's return to both Roma and the Albanian national team is highly anticipated by fans and supporters. His presence on the field is not only crucial for his club's defense but also a significant boost to the national team's backline. Kumbulla has established himself as a key figure in both setups due to his solid defensive skills and leadership on the field.
Roma and the Albanian national team have eagerly awaited the moment when Kumbulla will don their jerseys once more. His return is bound to strengthen the team's performances and provide valuable options for their respective coaches. His ability to read the game, make crucial tackles, and contribute to both offensive and defensive plays has been sorely missed.
While injuries are an inevitable part of a professional athlete's career, the news of Kumbulla's imminent return is met with excitement and relief by fans and coaches alike. Both Roma and the Albanian national team will look forward to benefiting from his skills and expertise in the games to come. His determination and resilience in overcoming the injury underscore his commitment to the sport and his responsibilities to both club and country.
