Nottingham Forest defender Giulian Biancone has taken an important step in his recovery from his anterior cruciate ligament injury.
The 23-year-old says he is ready to return “home” to the City Ground after completing part of his rehabilitation abroad. Although not able to get on the pitch for the Reds in their remaining four games, he is determined to play his part as Steve Cooper’s side battle to avoid relegation.
Biancone has been sidelined since November, when an innocuous incident in training ruled him out for the rest of the campaign. He underwent surgery in Austria before spending time at an Isokinetic centre in Italy.
