The good news of the day was his return on Sunday Achille Polonara into action, about two months after being diagnosed with a testicular tumor. Full of life and with only his shaved head (after chemotherapy treatments) reminding him of the adventure he went through, the Italian forward helped Virtus Bologna defeat Dertona 99-70 having 5 points in 8 minutes of participation.
“I’ve had two long and difficult months, but I’m glad to be back and now I’ll try not to think about the past. I hope I don’t have any more health problems in the future“, emphasized the 32-year-old ace. “I’m looking forward to returning to the Euroleague as well. We have a big week ahead of us with home games against Barcelona and Maccabi and then the derby with Armani Milano for the league“, he added.
His coach, Luca Banki, emphasized: “We are by Akile’s side, he went through a difficult time and faced this situation with great composure and maturity. I am glad that he felt the support of the whole team and the city. He showed a very good image in training, a lot of passion to come back and we will try to get him in the right condition soon so that he can regain his role and help us as we know he can».
