Marash Kumbulla
ROM
Returns to AS Roma
Kumbulla will return to parent club AS Roma following the conclusion of his loan spell at Mallorca, the club announced.
Analysis: Kumbulla joined the club last summer and made 10 appearances during his time at the club, providing defensive cover across the campaign. Mallorca thanked him for his professionalism and contribution during his loan spell as he prepares to return to Roma ahead of the new season.
Trains normally with team
Kumbulla (adductor) returned to team training Tuesday and is targeting a return for Friday's clash against Girona, according to Radio Marca Baleares.
Analysis: Kumbulla had been ruled out for the clash against Alaves after picking up a new adductor injury, making his swift return to collective sessions a more encouraging update than initially anticipated. The Albanian center-back has mainly been a bench option for Mallorca this season, so his return is primarily about restoring squad depth rather than shaking up the starting lineup, but every available body counts for a side still fighting to secure their top-flight status in the final stretch of the campaign.
Suffers new adductor injury
Kumbulla picked up a new adductor injury and is ruled out for the time being, the club posted.
Analysis: Kumbulla has been dealing with a series of physical setbacks throughout his time at Mallorca, and this latest adductor issue is another frustrating development for the Albanian center-back. His absence has a limited impact on the starting lineup given his bench role for the Bermellones this season, but losing yet another body in the squad is unwelcome news for a club still fighting to secure their top-flight status in the final stretch of the campaign.
