Achille Polonara : Retour Émouvant sur les Parquets après sa Lutte contre la Leucémie
Le retour triomphal d'Achille Polonara après dix mois de combat
Le monde du basket salue avec émotion le retour d'Achille Polonara sur les parquets. Il y a dix mois à peine, le joueur recevait un diagnostic de leucémie myéloïde, entamant une nouvelle bataille majeure seulement deux ans après avoir vaincu un cancer des testicules. Aujourd'hui, après une lutte acharnée de près d'un an, l'international italien est officiellement hors de danger. Il a récemment repris les entraînements individuels à Sassari, son club formateur où il avait fait son retour l'été dernier.
Dans un entretien exclusif, l'ailier a partagé son émotion profonde de retrouver le contact d'un ballon de basket. Il a également précisé que son retour à la compétition est soigneusement planifié et ne se fera qu'au début de la prochaine saison, soulignant l'importance d'une approche prudente et progressive.
"Retoucher un ballon après dix mois, c'était une sensation extraordinaire et profondément émouvante. Au début, c'était comme si je découvrais ce sport pour la toute première fois, mais, tir après tir, l'aisance et les réflexes sont revenus très vite. Je dois être extrêmement vigilant pour éviter toute blessure, c'est pourquoi les entraînements collectifs avec l'équipe ne débuteront qu'à partir de cet été. Il me faudra probablement deux ou trois ans avant d'avoir l'assurance totale qu'aucun risque ne subsiste."
Achille Polonara's Triumphant Return to Basketball After Ten-Month Health Battle
The basketball world is filled with emotion as Achille Polonara makes his anticipated return to the courts. Just ten months ago, the player received a diagnosis of myeloid leukemia, embarking on another major battle only two years after successfully overcoming testicular cancer. Today, after a fierce struggle lasting almost a year, the Italian international is officially out of danger. He recently resumed individual training sessions at Sassari, his formative club where he had returned last summer.
In an exclusive interview, the forward shared his profound emotions upon reconnecting with a basketball. He also clarified that his competitive return is carefully planned and will only take place at the beginning of the next season, emphasizing the importance of a cautious and progressive approach.
"Touching a basketball again after ten months was an extraordinary and deeply moving feeling. At first, it felt as if I was discovering the sport for the very first time, but shot after shot, the ease and reflexes quickly returned. I must be extremely vigilant to avoid any injuries, which is why team training sessions will only begin this summer. It will likely take me two or three years to be completely certain that no risks remain."
