The statement came after the game. “Samuele will be training with the professionals starting tomorrow,” said Hirschnagl. “That’s why we agreed that he would play 45 minutes for us. We’re happy that he gets the chance.”
The general plan is for Inacio to initially play in the U23. But he could also be used for the professionals at the weekend. The training sessions are a reward for his achievements.
