On Thursday, Modena will play host to San Giustino in round 8 of the A1. The team has carried out two training sessions today but the injured Kooy is working separately and Matt Anderson was only back from Japan late at night.

“it’s true that we had injuries and players away but we trained fine, we did the best out of the situation we had – said middle blocker Sala – To be honest, I can’t wait to play again and I’m glad to do so in Modena, I hope to see a full arena. The game against San Giustino will be very difficult. To go back on court after such a long break is not easy. Besides, they have quality and need points”.
