Life is full of important dates and there are two that Leo Ulloa will not forget. That February 12 of this year, when a bad movement during a training session caused him a serious injury to the left knee. Nor on October 10. Eight months later the Argentine striker was back on the pitch. He left in the 83rd minute and left behind all those hard weeks of recovery due to the rupture of the anterior cruciate ligament and the internal lateral one.
“It has been a stretch of sacrifice, with moments when you find yourself alone because you work on the sidelines and isolate yourself a bit. Thank God we are back, training with the group and trying to get well physically as soon as possible. I have good feelings“He confessed to the club's media, where he added:” I'm happy to have been able to have my first minutes. Training with the group, traveling … makes you feel different. I need to go shooting and demand the most from day to day “.
Ulloa is one of the team's dynamics. He smiles, aware that the worst is over. “Mentally it was difficult, because he had never had a long-term injury until this one. Thinking that I could be away seven or eight months was difficult for me. Throughout my career the longest I had stopped was a month of vacation. I got along well, beyond the complexity of the injury, the operation, the recovery, the pandemic … I've always been positive and strong in the head“, explained the Argentine forward.
