Fully involved in training
Football star feels ready for his comeback
When the new European League of Football season kicks off next weekend, football star Sandro Platzgummer will also be feeling the tension. The 27-year-old, who spent three years with the New York Giants, is about to make his comeback after tearing his cruciate ligament.
Eleven months ago, Sandro Platzgummer's return to the Raiders Tirol ended before it had really begun. After three years with NFL club New York Giants, the Tyrolean returned to his home club. But after just four games, the football star suffered a serious knee injury - torn cruciate ligament, season over.
In terms of strength, I'm almost back to where I was before. Even if I can still feel the knee a bit. But I have the feeling that it's stable.

Fully back in training
Now the 27-year-old is about to make his comeback - with his new club Frankfurt Galaxy. The Germans, who play in the Western Conference, are not playing in the opening game of the European League of Football, but the time could come on June 2. "I've been back in full team training for a week now, even with contact," said the Innsbruck native, who is also completing an internship as a doctor in Frankfurt.
Strength is good again
"In terms of strength, I'm almost back to where I was before. Even if I can still feel my knee a bit. But I have the feeling that it's stable," said Sandro. If the knee doesn't cause any problems in the coming week, nothing stands in the way of his return.
The running back has already settled in well in Frankfurt: "I'm getting on well, everyone is very nice."
