Mario Hermoso is making a swift recovery from the injury he sustained during the match against Torino.
According to Il Tempo, the signs are promising, and the Spanish defender is already aiming to return to the pitch next week for the match against Udinese, which is sooner than initially anticipated.

Originally, it was believed that Hermoso would only be back in time for the games against Napoli and Cremonese. However, his recovery is progressing rapidly, putting him in contention for the February 2nd match.
On the other hand, there are worries surrounding Manu Koné, who experienced an issue with his right leg flexor during last night’s match against AC Milan.
Today’s tests will determine the severity of his injury, but preliminary assessments indicate a possible lesion, which could result in several weeks on the sidelines.
To fill his position, Gasperini may pair Cristante with either Pisilli or El Aynaoui, both of whom are in outstanding form following their impressive brace against Stuttgart and remarkable performances in the Africa Cup of Nations.
