Gorrotxategi is back in training
The eibartarra has stepped on the field with his teammates after overcoming his pubalgia discomfort.
The midfielder of the Royal Jon Gorrotxategi Society has returned to training sessions after overcoming his pubalgia discomfort. The Eibartarra has stepped on the field with his teammates in this Wednesday morning session and has left behind doubts about his physical condition and availability.
Gorrotxak had been physically troubled since last season, forcing him to miss the last two matches against Valencia and Espanyol. The 24-year-old midfielder, who has not yet been able to play a preparatory match under Matarazzo, has the option of opening next Saturday against Chelsea in the last match before the start of the League.
Although he has completed his first session with his teammates, it is not certain that he will be available for the first day of the league match against Betis at La Cartuja Stadium. His return has taken place in the same week that you have also seen the return of players like Pablo Marín, who was returning from an injury, or Mikel Oyarzabal, after his vacation.
