Spotted running on grass
Puado (knee) was spotted running on grass with running shoes Thursday, according to the club.
Analysis: Puado's continued progression in his recovery from ACL surgery has included continuous running work and daily gym sessions, though he is not expected to be ready before around December. This latest sighting on the grass is another small step in that ongoing process, and his path back to full training remains a gradual one as Espanyol continues preseason preparations without its captain.
Aims December return
Puado is progressing in his recovery from ACL surgery, now doing continuous running work on the field alongside daily gym sessions, and does not expect to be ready before the month of December, according to La Grada Radio.
Analysis: Puado's recovery remains on schedule but he is deliberately avoiding a firm return date, preferring to come back only once he is fully ready to compete rather than rushing to reenter a squad list. The captain, who traveled with the team to preseason training in Navata despite not yet training at full intensity, emphasized the priority of avoiding any setback with the knee. His extended absence continues to be a significant blow for Espanyol, who will open the season without their captain and leading forward as they look to build a more stable campaign than last season's difficult second half.
