Monza midfielder Stefano Sensi says he's ready for a playing return after recovering from a November leg fracture.
Sensi is on-loan at Monza from Inter Milan.
He said: “More than a cry of pain it was a cry of fear. I felt the bone breaking, right away I had the perception of a serious injury. Moreover, with all the muscle stoppages I've endured, it's the first incident of that nature.
“I feared the worst, not that a peroneal malleolus fracture is a minor injury. It's not a question of whether or not I feel I owe credit to fate, but I really asked myself 'why?, 'why me again?'
“Look it's not just a matter of training methodology. It's really radically changed my approach to work. I have changed my diet, I pay attention to prevention and recovery.
“I have been helped by the physiotherapists but in particular a professional, Samuele Fenu, who supports me in many aspects, coordinating with the club facilities and Jean Pierre Meersseman.
“When you get injured often, even after you have healed, the terror of getting injured again takes over. You enter a dangerous vicious cycle."
