Middle blocker Isac Viana Santos returned to Brazil to treat persistent back pain with his personal doctor. The red and white CEO Beppe Cormio provides updates and clarifies the position of the A.S. Volley Lube.

Beppe Cormio (dg Cucine Lube Civitanova): “After the hiring of Isac and his arrival in Civitanova, for a month we tried to solve his physical problems, but we are not yet in a position to register it and, consequently, cannot take the field. Also because the registration would involve a series of other tasks such as, for example, the loss of a visa for a non-EU athlete. By mutual agreement, we opted for the player to return to Brazil. In his country, Isac will follow special therapies with his trusted orthopedist, one of the best in the world. He will attempt the path of immediate recovery. If the treatments go well we will resend to review the whole situation. It is absolutely not excluded that he may return and, finally, join our group. At the moment, however, we cannot say more. Neither us nor him! “
