In a statement released by the club, Frigan described the psychological challenges of being away from the game for over a year, emphasizing that mentally it was harder than physically. He expressed gratitude for the support he received during his recovery, particularly in Bologna’s rehabilitation center, and mentioned beginning preparations for the new season with friendly matches.
