Lazio midfielder pleased with call-up to Brazilian national team

midfielder is pleased to have been recalled to the Brazilian national team after his recent injury worries.

The 27-year-old missed out on ’s match against England in February due to a head injury suffered in the Coppa Italia, but he has declared himself ready on this occasion.

“I am very happy with this new opportunity,” Hernanes admitted to Lance Press.

“I was already happy with my last call-up, I had high hopes, but due to an ugly incident I lost the chance to go.”

“Fortunately I have recovered in a hurry, have been playing and this time I hope to show up and put in some great work to meet expectations.”

“I have played in six matches since my injury, of which four I played the entire game and I am fully recovered. Soon I will be able to play with no head protection, as I am now using it for precautionary reasons.”

About the Author

Adriano Boin

- A passionate F.C. Internazionale supporter since the young age of 10, my love for the club came about on a family trip to Italy after their signing of Roberto Baggio. Much to the dismay of my father (a Milan fan) my love for the club only grew stronger and has taken me on trips to Genova and Boston to see my club in action. The greatest of these journeys was being blessed by incredible luck (to which this day I still cannot comprehend) which allowed me to travel to Madrid, see the 2010 Champions League Final in the flesh and experience a week-long trip that will probably never be surpassed. Feel free to add me on Twitter to talk about Inter, Italy or calcio in general @Boin44
