Welcome returns in positive encounter

Saturday’s friendly against Hit Gorica – currently third in the Slovenian first division – finished with a draw, with many of the Chievo squad away on international duty. Nonetheless, the match gave positive pointers, mainly due to the return to the pitch of Acerbi and Uribe, both of whom have been absent for a while with physical problems. The Colombian forward stood out in particular, scoring from a penalty kick to take Chievo into a 2-1 lead.
