McDowell-White Returns to Varese Training, Della Valle Speeds Up Recovery

Openjobmetis Varese has received some encouraging fitness news. According to La Prealpina, playmaker William McDowell-White will take part in team training today, at least partially. The Australian player has been out of action for more than five weeks, since September 22, when he suffered a muscle injury behind his right thigh.

McDowell-White has missed all nine games, both in the league and in the Basketball Champions League. If the new training sessions go well, the goal is for him to be in the squad for the home match against Udine on November 8.

Amedeo Della Valle's recovery has also picked up pace. He was originally expected to return for the Cantù derby on December 6, but the outlook is now more optimistic. In the best-case scenario, he could play against Reggio Emilia on November 14, or, if not, against Venezia on November 22.

There will be no changes to the squad for Saturday's away match at Verona. The team will go into that game with the same players used in the last three matches.
