Coach Leandro Vissotto explains the cautious approach to Luzia returning for Gerdau Minas after an abdominal strain.
Middle blocker Luzia is progressing through her recovery from an abdominal injury and has begun integrating into training sessions with the Gerdau Minas squad. Despite her recent physical evolution, her official return to the court still depends on careful medical evaluation and a complete healing process.
Speaking in an interview with No Ataque, head coach Leandro Vissotto provided a direct update on the athlete's current physical status, emphasizing that the coaching staff is prioritizing her long-term health above an immediate comeback in the ongoing Superliga.
The team wants to ensure the player avoids any risk of a recurring injury before she is cleared for competitive matches, according to information published by WEBVOLEI.
Current Training Integration Status for Luzia
According to Leandro Vissotto, Luzia is responding well to her rehabilitation program and is gradually rejoining the group. The Gerdau Minas coach noted that the player is currently participating in practice drills with the ball, while the medical department closely monitors her daily workload.
Risks of Abdominal Strain Recurrence
The primary concern for the technical commission is preventing a relapse of the injury. Luzia suffered an abdominal strain, which ranges from micro-tears in the muscle fibers to more extensive damage within the region, making a premature comeback particularly dangerous for her athletic continuity.
Caution From the Gerdau Minas Coaching Staff
Leandro Vissotto stressed that rushing the return of Luzia could jeopardize her participation for the remainder of the season. The strategy is to wait for a completely healthy recovery so she can safely endure the physical demands of the Superliga until the final matches.
