5 long-term injury absentees who will be back with a vengeance next season

Kevin Strootman
Kevin Strootman was all set for a move to Manchester United before an injury kept him out for a while

3) Giuseppe Rossi

Rossi was on loan at Levante from Fiorentina till the end of the 2015/16 season

It wasn’t too long ago that Rossi was consistently targeted by a whole host of English and European Clubs. Rossi could pass, dribble and was lethal in front of goal and was on his way to cementing his reputation as one of the most in-demand forwards in European football. Rossi is another player who’s faced setback after setback in his career and at 29-years-old certainly isn’t young anymore.

To think of all that he could have accomplished in his career and the fact that he’s missed so much of the most productive years of his life as a footballer will sting, but Rossi seems to have put his injury-ridden past behind him.

He’s been fit for several months now and scored some critical goals for Levante in the second half of their season. Not especially dependent on pace, Rossi still has a few good years in him and will look to show the world the player he once was next year.
