"Good morning to you all," Coach Johansen said when all the Rosenborg players had taken up their seats in the tactics room. An easy, relaxed smile outlined his face as he stepped in front of the room to address the players. He seemed to be in a good mood.
"Good morning, coach," the players replied, more or less in unison.
The coach nodded and glanced around. His gaze paused on Zachary the next moment. He grinned and said, "You're back?"
"Yes, I'm back," Zachary replied with a smile. "I returned yesterday afternoon."
"How is she?"
"She's recovering well. She should be able to leave the hospital in about a month's time."
It was already common knowledge among the Rosenborg players that Zachary's grandma was in a hospital in Zurich. He had already informed all his teammates since he wanted them to understand why he'd missed several training sessions over the past few weeks. So, he didn't mind talking about the issue in front of all the players within the tactics room.
