Valencia midfielder Yunus Musah is making an effort to recover earlier than expected and feature for his club in all competitions this season.
The 18-year-old received a hard tackle which affected his ankle ligaments during a preseason game. The tackle was instigated by Brazilian Atromitos player Thomas Bedinelli who apologised.
"Yunus,sorry for the action, it's part of football and unfortunately things like that sometimes happen. As we discussed, it was not my intention and never will be my intention to hurt a player , I will cheer you on and see you shine on the field soon," Bedinelli stated on Instagram.
He was set to take about three weeks to recover but reports have revealed that he aims to shorten the period to two weeks albeit he is walking with crutches.
With La Liga set to start in mid August, Musah will aim to return to full fitness and stake a claim as an important piece of the team.
Musah rejected the Black Stars and England to represent the USA national team.
