After two assists against Orlando, Djordje Mihailović credits "mental sharpness" with quick re-integration into Fire starting XI

In his third match since returning to the lineup from an October 2017 ACL injury, Sunday’s home contest against Orlando City SC was a special one for second-year midfielder Djordje Mihailoviu0107.

For the first time in 327 days, the Homegrown product found himself on the box score after registering a pair of assists in the club’s 4-0 victory. However, while the physical side of his return to the pitch has been the story, Mihailoviu0107 credits his quick re-integration into head coach Veljko Paunoviu0107’s side with a dedication to staying mentally sharp throughout his eight-month rehab process.
