The Curious Case of Benjamin Button (2008) is the title of one of David Fincher’s most famous films. The main character, played by Brad Pitt, lives a contrarian existence that causes him to be born in old age and waste away in infancy. It is somewhat similar to the path back taken by Jonathan Ikone, who appeared experienced and fit in the last few days before resuming training separately, thus suddenly returning to doubt for Sunday’s match with Atalanta.
It all started during a summer friendly match with Nice, during which, more precisely in the 64th minute, the former Lille player was forced to give way to the now former Fiorentina player Alexander Kokorin due to a sudden, incomprehensible muscle problem. Only a week later, according to rumors collected by our editors in the absence of official press releases, it was established that the injury occurred in the lumbar region, in particular the hip.
A very limited stop considering the time it took to dispose of it. Which, in fact, has not happened yet. Because if Ikone recovered a few days ago – the player born in 1998 took the field in Saturday’s friendly match with Primavera – Today he spent the afternoon class alone. A month and a week after his withdrawal from the Selah Cup (August 6), we are, surprisingly, still asking for clarification regarding the Frenchman’s actual physical condition.
