Superliga: important return to Dinamo: “There are no reason not to be with us at the match with Oil”

The Croatian striker Stipe Perica (30 years old) has returned to the Dinamo Bucharest team training and, if no new medical problems will occur, it will be apt for the match with Ploiești Petrol, coach Zeljko Kopic announced.

Perica reached the Bucharest group at Kopic's request and gave a yield at the end of the previous season, with 6 goals scored in 16 games. An accident suffered in the first friendly of the summer, 0-3 with oil, kept away from the ground in recent weeks.

Stipe Perica returns to the field: “We will use it from the following matches”

“About Stipe, I read a lot in the press, including leaving the club. The reality is that he was injured. I have known him since he was very young, before he reached Chelsea. I know his potential and qualities. Last winter, after he decided that we did not extend with Selmani, it was important for me to have a quality striker.

I knew it would not be 100% prepared until the summer, but the idea was to help us when it can, and in the summer to be at full capacity. He also managed to score important goals last season, demonstrated an instinct of striker and real danger in front of the gate.

It was important to do the entire training period with us, but unfortunately he had problems behind. He went to two or three doctors abroad to solve these problems. Had all the support of the club and mine to overcome them. The hardest thing is for him, because he wants to play.

Last week he returned to workouts without problems. We take care not to overload it, we take it step by step. I didn't want to use it in Saturday's friendly, just to protect it. If the process continues well and no other problems arise, we will use it from the next matches.

We will see how everything goes to the match with Oil, but if it has a full week of workouts, there are no reason not to be with us. I believe that he finally solved his problems and that, day after day, he will return to the form we need, “said Kopic, according to Dinamo1948.Club.

Ploiești Oil – Dinamo Bucharest, match in stage #9 of Superliga, will take place on Monday, September 15, from 9:00 pm.
