Pellegri eyes Serie A comeback after returning to Torino training
Italian forward Pietro Pellegri, once regarded as one of Italy's most exciting teenage prospects, has returned to training with Torino as he targets a Serie A comeback. The 24-year-old's career has been repeatedly disrupted by injuries since his high-profile early moves to AC Milan and then Monaco. Now at Torino, Pellegri is working his way back to fitness and hoping to earn minutes under Ivan Juric's successor, in what would represent another attempt to fulfil the potential that once made him a sought-after talent across Europe.
Read the full story at football-italia.netPellegri's return to Torino training is another chapter in a career that has never quite matched the billing of his teenage breakthrough. Injuries have consistently undermined a forward who, at 16, became one of the youngest scorers in Serie A history and earned a big-money move to Monaco. Whether he can re-establish himself as a credible Serie A option depends on durability as much as ability, and Torino will be cautious about integrating him. For Italian football followers, the story is a familiar one of a once-celebrated academy product fighting to remind people why the hype existed in the first place.
