Raffaele Canonico's statement about Victor Osimhen

“Pace is one of his peculiar characteristics. We are talking of an athlete whose top speed sprint is 34/35 Km/h. To reach that and to achieve specific standards he must be well trained.

“In general, the recovery time for these sorts of injuries is five weeks, so the week of the Cremonese clash is crucial.''
