As reported in BresciaOggi, Brescia team doctor Tjouroudis said that Baggio could return within 30-40 days, while he must have complete rest. The doctor also explained that there was no tie between the injuries in the matches against Inter and against Lecce, because they were of different legs. Roby is now in Argentina for vacation, while he will undergo a magnetic resonance in a clinic in Buenos Aires, in order to accelerate his recovery. He will be back to Italy before new year.

Today Baggio will return to San Siro as Brescia travel to play Inter Milan. Roby talked about his former club, and in Calciomercato.com there is an English version of the talk.
About the possibility of staying at Inter, he said "I showed what I had to show in the last match against Parma. Everyone saw that I was fit and that I could have stayed with Inter, but I wasn't part of their plans... I stayed home, training alone for 2 months."
Then about the rumour of the lack of physical condition, Roby said "I am still angry - they said I couldn't play 90 minutes but they said so to hide something else. On the news, I read that I had physical problems but it's easy to say so when you can't show the opposite on the pitch. Here with Brescia, everyone seen that what was written was false."
Finally about Brescia and himself, Baggio said "Inter Milan is a side with great players but I have to think about Brescia - they need points. And then, the last time I scored was a long time ago and I would like to score on Sunday, although honestly, I don't know how I would react if that happens. I just want to help Brescia stay in Serie A."

Brescia beat Fiorentina 3-1 in the second leg of Coppa Italia quarter final. Since they lost 0-6 in the first leg, they were saving some first team players, so Baggio didn't play in that match.
