Vibo Valentia already posted a statement saying Douglas left the city and the team without any permission and justification (translated).

Wow that’s huge. I wonder why… According to those who understand his instagram livestreams, he has always been vocal in saying that he and his partner can't adjust in Italy and will not go back to play there after this season. So the surprise there is why in the middle of the season. There are rumors also that he is joining Big Brother Brazil. Vibo Valentia is in a really bad position in the standings and needed to get a replacement, especially if Nishida cannot play yet. |

They must be scrambling right now with nishida out as well |

That might make the bottom two positions of the standings a lot more clear than we expected...Vibo will absolutely get relegated if they can't replace or even upgrade from Douglas QUICKLY. Ravenna is horrible and will get relegated for sure, but Verona, Cisterna, Milano, Padova, and even Taranto are all significantly better than Vibo Valentia right now

Covid is ripping through Piacenza. Per their social media.
Suprised we haven't seen or heard more pro teams in Europe so far. Tis the season

Not that I think it would’ve made Vibo’s situation exponentially better, but imagine if takahashi was available and he became teammates with Nishida. Lol sorry, just some musings from a Japan fan

Interestingly, Vibo wins 3-2 against Padova. That's got to be a confidence booster and hopefully Nishida comes back soon.

Vibo signs Christian Fromm to replace Douglas This signing makes less than zero sense. Fromm is one of the worst outside hitters in the French league for one of the worst teams, a team that won the title last year and now may get relegated. I doubt there were many better options available, but this is not a good move |
