Naldo‘s smile is finally back, and he has worked a long time for the moment Monday morning when the Werder centre back returned to the training grounds for a running session. Part two of the comeback followed Wednesday afternoon as the 28-year-old completed a 16-minute running program with his physiotherapist Matheus Cardoso. Naldo was beaming after the session. "It is a great feeling being back on the pitch," said the Brazilian. "I was back on the pitch for the second time and I am absolutely satisfied. I didn't have any pain."

The defender increased his program by four minutes compared to Monday's session - another step for Naldo in his long road to returning to team training. "I will increase my program in the coming weeks step by step," said Naldo, who added that his body is slowly and cautiously being prepared for the burden. In addition to the running sessions on the pitch, the defender is daily working on his fitness in the catacombs of Weser Stadium. "I am spending a lot of time in the weight room, riding the bike, working on the leg press and building up muscle mass as quickly as possible." And it's clear that the sessions in the fresh air are a welcome change for Naldo from the everyday strength training.

The 28-year-old will complete further running and strength sessions in the coming days and weeks working up to his next big goal - training with his best friend, the round leather ball. "I'm sure it will take a while until I can practice with the ball again. I am not putting myself under pressure, but it's certainly my next big goal," said Naldo. The most important issue is that the knee doesn't react negatively to the increased burden, according to Naldo, who will work with the Weder medical staff and his Brazilian physiotherapist on the next steps of his comeback.
