Hicham sees the light

Hicham put the positive note this Thursday in the training of Malaga. The Moroccan winger has spent the year practically blank due to several muscle injuries and has done part of today's session with his teammates in the first green shoot of your recovery in several weeks. The light appears at the end of the tunnel for the speedy footballer of the Blue and White quarry.

Málaga have high hopes for the potential of Hicham, who Pellicer knows well. The coach gave him prominence at the end of last season and this course was called to be his confirmation, but his continuous injuries have stopped him cold.. His goal now is to recover one hundred percent and get ready with a view to the start of the preseason and the next season.

His physical condition has generated some concern in the entity and in the footballer himself, who a couple of months ago visited a sports medicine specialist in Lille to try to put an end to his muscle problems.

This season He has only been able to participate in three matches, in which he has played only 44 minutes of play. Not part time in the entire course. The winger made his debut in Castellón on the second day of the League, but only lasted two minutes on the pitch before falling injured. Then he added eight minutes in the defeat of Malaga in Almería (3-1) and three days later, on December 16 in the Cup against Coruxo, he was injured at 34 minutes. Since then he has not played again.

Hicham's case is one of those that deserves a separate chapter at Málaga. The footballer renewed last season until 2022 and turned 23 in January, so next year it will no longer be U-23 and it will not be able to have a subsidiary file and play with the first squad as it has been doing these last two courses. Manolo Gaspar will have to decide if he makes him a professional record and gives him the first team's number or if he looks for a way out in the form of a transfer or assignment this summer.

Ale Benítez suffers a knee sprain

The bad news of today's training has starred Ale Benítez. The youth squad, who had earned a place on the team's right side in recent weeks, has suffered a sprain to the internal lateral ligament of his right knee and their participation in the final stretch of the season and in the first playoff tie that Atlético Malagueño must play against El Palo is in jeopardy within ten days.

For his part, Luis Muñoz was injured for the second day in a row due to a muscular overload in the quadriceps. From the club they pointed out that the ailment was mild and they trust that he will arrive in time for Monday's appointment against Oviedo at the Carlos Tartiere. Today is doubt.
