Works on grass
Santiago (knee) was spotted training on the grass Thursday, working individually alongside Elche recovery coach Aitor Soler, according to Deportes COPE.
Analysis: Santiago has been progressing well in his recovery from arthroscopic knee surgery undergone back in May, with coach Martin Anselmi previously saying he hoped for a group reintegration within about a week. His move to outdoor work marks a positive step in that process, and his continued progress will be tracked as Elche's season continues.
Progressing well in recovery
Santiago is progressing well in his recovery but will miss the season opener against Deportivo La Coruna, with a possible reintegration into the group within a week, according to coach Martin Anselmi. "Yago Santiago is recovering from the injury, evolving very well. Hopefully in a week he can already be integrated with us and he'll keep progressing until he can do all the work on the pitch"
Analysis: Santiago underwent arthroscopic knee surgery back in May with the goal of being ready for this preseason, and this update points to steady progress even as his return to full training takes a bit longer than initially hoped. He finished last season with two tackles, an interception and five clearances across nine LaLiga appearances, mainly as a rotational option. Santiago is expected to continue his individual work before rejoining the group in the coming days.
