There was a bit of good news for Cucine Lube Civitanova from last weekend’s SuperLega Credem Banca game in Italy, in which they suffered a heavy shutout on the road at Allianz Milan. One of Lube’s most important players, Bulgarian star Aleksandar Nikolov, finally returned to action after a long absence due to medical reasons.
The 21-year-old outside hitter appeared on the court during the first set of the match. It was a brief appearance, but it was a happy and very important step on his patient journey to full recovery.
“Aside from the result of the trip to Milan, from a personal point of view, I am very happy because after months without official matches, I have broken the abstinence and stepped on the floor, finally taking part in my first action of the new season in the Lube jersey,” 2.06m-tall Nikolov told lubevolley.it. “Now the plan is to take it step by step. Everything will return to normal, but slow and steady wins the race!”
