Available for Levante clash
Herrera is available for Sunday's La Liga clash against Levante after returning to full team training Friday following his recovery from a calf injury.
Analysis: Herrera is back in contention for Sunday's encounter against Levante after recovering from the calf injury that kept him sidelined for the past couple of weeks. The midfielder resumed collective training Friday, marking an important step in his recovery and clearing the way for his return to competitive action. Although he should be available for selection, his recent absence could lead coach Pellegrino Matarazzo to manage his minutes carefully, potentially limiting him to a substitute appearance. Herrera has recorded 18 tackles across eight La Liga appearances this season, providing a valuable defensive presence in midfield. He will compete with Benat Turrientes and Jon Gorrotxategi for playing time in the deeper midfield positions, although his chances of immediately reclaiming a starting role remain uncertain.
Rejoins group training
Herrera (calf) was back with the group during Friday's practice after making progress in his recovery, per Mundo Deportivo.
Analysis: Herrera has been sidelined over the last couple of weeks, and while the weekend's meeting with Levante likely comes too soon for him to start, it shouldn't be long until he's able to produce. In that case, he'll be a solid source of passes and defensive numbers, having racked up 18 tackles over eight league games this season. Once he's back in the rotation, he'll challenge Benat Turrientes and Jon Gorrotxategi in the more defensive spot of a two-man holding midfield.
