Returns to action Wednesday
Cruz (leg) played the final 12 minutes of Wednesday's friendly game versus Fulham, per the team's official website.
Analysis: Cruz has completed his recovery from the injury that limited him over the past few weeks, and he may now push for an increased role on the left flank, offering ability to produce in both attack and defense. His likeliest position at this moment is on the wing, but he faces a competition with Joaquin Munoz. Last season, Cruz racked up three goals plus three assists across 39 appearances (35 starts) for Leganes in La Liga 2.
Rejoins group training
Cruz has rejoined group training after recovering from the muscle injury that had kept him out in recent days, according to La Opinion De Malaga.
Analysis: Cruz had gradually built up his workload before this full return, strengthening coach Juanfran Funes' options heading into the final stretch of preseason. The forward's involvement is a positive sign as Malaga prepares for the Trofeo Costa del Sol against Fulham on Wednesday at La Rosaleda. Cruz is expected to continue building toward full match fitness as preseason wraps up.
