According to the report, Ola Aina is “working with great will and encouraging results to be able to place himself at Juric's disposal with a couple of weeks ahead of schedule.”
Updates were also provided on two of Aina’s Torino teammates, Sasa Lukic and Valentin Lazaro who are both also on the mend.
Lukic is said to be suffering from “blunt trauma sustained in the posterior part of the leg” and will be monitored on a day-to-day basis and is expected to recover in “about ten days and then resume at full capacity.”
Lazaro on the other hand is said to have “problem with the ligaments in his right knee but clearly improving: perhaps he will return at the end of February.”
While he continues to recover from his injury, Ola Aina has been involved in some community work in Turin.
