We heard that you are in Brazil and have some recovering treatments?

My goal for this summer is to be ready to play at the World Championship in Japan” said Natalia who seriously working on her recovery. Here you can check her stats from the previous two seasons.
And can you tell us what was the reason why you returned to Brazilian Superliga and you didn’t stay in Europe or somewhere else?
“Last season was really hard for me! And Minas offered to me the best option to recover and come back to play at high level, as I played in Fenerbahce in the first season! At home, I feel more comfortable to do everything! I have my family, my friends here, and this is really important for me at this moment! Also, Minas is one of the most traditional teams in Brazil. I’m really happy to wear this jersey!“
And what the doctors said about your injury?
„What I have is Tendinosis. It means or sometimes called chronic tendonitis, chronic tendinopathy, or chronic tendon injury, is damage to a tendon at a cellular level! So I need time to get better!” explained Brazilian star for WoV.
