Scuderi suffered one of the most horrific leg breaks in recent memory during a UEFA Youth League match back in September 2016.
'It [was] the worst injury you could possibly imagine,' Scuderi's surgeon said at the time.

He underwent an arduous rehab process, which took the best part of two years
He finally made it back out onto the training field with the Dortmund players back in May
'Comeback,' he wrote on Instagram alongside a photo of him back on the field.
'After a very long and hard time, where the doctors had already written me off. Thanks to my family and my friends and the BVB, without you I would not be back.'
During his time out of the side, Dortmund funded him to study sports management in order for him to have a career to pursue should the worst become reality.
But after returning to Dortmund training in May and enduring an intense pre-season, he has finally completed his comeback.
